The specific embodiment
In the following description, identical Reference numeral represents identical element.
Describe based on embodiment of the present invention as follows and should not be understood to for the alternate embodiment restriction the present invention who does not clearly describe herein.
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram (not drawn on scale) of the block diagram of deployable container 2.
Container 2 comprises top section 4, base section 6 and centre portion 8.Centre portion 8 is arranged between top section 4 and base section 6.Centre portion 8 has bellows-type structure and can launch foldedly or compress as bellows or concertina.In other words, centre portion 8 deployable (can extend) and compression.
Container 2 is generally cylinder form.Container 2 is made by Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE).Container 2 can use any suitable method (for example blow molding) to make.Container can be transparent, translucent or opaque.
In Fig. 1, shown the container 2 under complete deployed condition.
Can be by applying compressive force (be enough to overcome the resistance of centre portion 8, be enough to overcome the restoring force of centre portion 8) thus top section 4 and base section 6 are moved together and make container 2 be varied to complete compressive state from its complete deployed condition.
In the compression process of container 2, at container 2, from it, complete deployed condition is to the change procedure of its complete compressive state, and the volume of container 2 reduces, and the cavity of container 2 becomes less.Therefore, air is forced to leave container 2 by opening 10.
When container 2 has been compressed into its compressive state and has removed when container 2 is compressed into the compressive force of its compressive state, the elasticity of centre portion 8 makes container 2 automatically launch to return its complete deployed condition.In other words, thus centre portion 8 has enough elasticity without being auxiliarily back to its virgin state (being deployed condition).Therefore, centre portion 8 is the elastic sidewall of container 2.
In the expansion process of container 2, at container 2, be back in the process of its complete deployed condition (due to the elasticity of centre portion 8), the volume of container 2 increases, and the cavity of container 2 becomes larger.Therefore, air sucks container 2 by opening 10.
Top section 4 forms the top of container 2.Top section 4 comprises opening 10, can food be inserted to container 2 by described opening 10 or take out from container 2.
Top section 4 further comprises threaded portion 12 and flange 14.
Threaded portion 12 is arranged between opening 10 and flange 14.The screw thread of threaded portion 12 is arranged on the outside face of top section 4, and screw thread is outside thread.
Threaded portion 12 joins with opening 10.Flange 14 is radially outwards outstanding from the vertical surface of top section 4.Flange 14 is continuous around the circumference of top section 4.
Base section 6 forms the bottom (being closed end) of container 2.Base section 6 not deployable also incompressible (with respect to centre portion 8).
Centre portion 8 comprises a plurality of conical rings 16.Each conical ring 16 has the frustoconical shape of cone.Each conical ring 16 has relatively large diameter an end, at opposite end place, has relatively little diameter.
In centre portion 8, conical ring 16 arranges as follows.At the place, top of centre portion 8, conical ring 16 has relatively large diameter end at this conical ring 16 and is attached to top section 4.Same, at the place, bottom of centre portion 8, conical ring 16 has relatively large diameter end at this conical ring 16 and is attached to base section 4.A plurality of conical ring 16 phase ground connection are arranged between the conical ring 16 at place, top of centre portion 8 and the conical ring 16 at the place, bottom of centre portion 8.This makes the end of the relatively large diameter of having of conical ring 16 be attached to the end of the relatively large diameter of having of adjacent conical ring 16.Same, this makes the end of the relatively little diameter of having of conical ring 16 be attached to the end of the relatively little diameter of having of adjacent conical ring 16.
In other words, centre portion 8 comprises the bellows-type structure being formed by a series of conical ring 16 joining.
Under the effect of the compressive force that top section 4 and base section 6 are moved together, move close to together the end with relatively large diameter of conical ring 16.Similarly, move close to together the end with relatively little diameter of conical ring 16.When removing this compressive force, the elastic force of centre portion 8 makes the end of the relatively large diameter of having of conical ring 16 move separation.Similarly, separation (being that centre portion is back to its original deployed condition) is moved in the end with relatively little diameter of conical ring 16.

Filling device comprises belt conveyor 20 and two parallel guide rails 22.
Belt conveyor 20 is constructed such that article placed on it (being container 2) are to move by the direction that arrow and Reference numeral 24 represent in Fig. 5 and 6.
When watching from top, as shown in Figure 6, belt conveyor 20 is parallel with guide rail 22.Especially, guide rail 22 is parallel to the direction 24 of belt conveyor 20.Same, when watching from top, the distance between guide rail is substantially equal to the external diameter of the opening 10 of container 2.
When watching from the side, as shown in Figure 5, the guide rail 22 at that point height of side is substantially equal to another guide rail 22 height of side at that point.
Same, when watching from the side, guide rail 22 reduces in the direction 24 at belt conveyor 20 along the length of belt conveyor 20 at the height above belt conveyor 20.Especially, in this embodiment, guide rail 22 is decreased to the second height 102 (second highly 102 is substantially equal to the height of flange 14 above the bottom of container 2 when container is under its complete compressive state) at the height above belt conveyor 20 from the first height 100 (the first height 100 is substantially equal to when container is under its complete deployed condition flange 14 at the height above the bottom of container 2).
In this embodiment, in step s2, container 2 is placed in to the bottom (being closed end) that makes container 2 on belt conveyor 20 vertically and contacts with belt conveyor 20, and make opening 10 (at the top place of container 2) from above can and.
Same, in this embodiment, in step s2, container 2 is placed on to track 22 at the some place at the first height 100 places with respect to belt conveyor 20 along belt conveyor.Same, in this embodiment, in step s2, placing container 2 makes track 22 contact with the upper surface of flange 14 at the place of opposite side each other of container 2.
In step s4, compression container 2.In this embodiment, by using belt conveyor 20 to make container 2 move (transmit) from guide rail 22 at the first height 100 with respect to belt conveyor 20 with respect to guide rail 22 thus at the second height 102 places with respect to belt conveyor 20, carry out the described compression of container 2 to guide rail 22.

When container 2 moves with respect to guide rail 22 by belt conveyor 20, the height of guide rail 22 above belt conveyor 20 is varied to the second height 102 from the first height 100.Therefore,, when container 2 moves with respect to guide rail 22 by belt conveyor 20, guide rail 22 applies downward (i.e. compression) power on the upper surface of flange 14.This power being applied by guide rail 22 is enough to overcome the resistance of centre portion 8, so container 2 is compressed into its complete compressive state.
In the compression process of container 2, air is forced to leave container 2 via opening 10.
In step s6, when under its complete compressive state, to container 2, fill the food of scheduled volumes.In other words, the food of scheduled volume is inserted to the container 2 of compression completely.
Preferably, the food of scheduled volume is the food in 60g to 70g scope.The volume being occupied by (being dried) food of scheduled volume is less than or equal to the volume of the container 2 under its complete compressive state.
In this embodiment, food is dried foods.Term " dried foods " is in this article for example, for being illustrated in edible dehydrated food or the partial dehydration food (food dewatering at least partly) for the treatment of aquation (rehydration) before by customer.Same, in this embodiment, food is food to be heated before being eaten by customer.For example, food can be oatmeal, dry powder, dry pasta, dry blowing sye middlings, dried noodles, dried rice pudding, dry Italian seasoning meal etc.Food can be also drying objects, in particular fluid, such as parchment coffee particle (such as freeze-drying coffee), dry tea, dry chocolate etc.Food can be also food to be diluted, for example sweet wine or syrup before eating.Can be for example, by adding hot liquid (boiling water) to realize aquation and the heating of food in food, for example, as hereinafter described in more detail with reference to Figure 11.
For example, in food aquation (rehydration), for after edible, the volume being occupied by the food of scheduled volume is greater than the volume of container 2 under its complete compressive state.
In step s7, on the opening 10 of container 2, apply gastight seal.
In this embodiment, by sealing unit (not shown), apply gastight seal.Same, in this embodiment, gastight seal is made by co-extrusion paper delivery or polyethylene film.Use hot radical Method for bonding that gastight seal is applied to opening, thereby described hot radical Method for bonding is engaged to container edge by applying heat by a part for sealing member.In other embodiments, use dissimilar gastight seal (for example aluminium foil).Same, in other embodiments, use the distinct methods (for example gummed) that sealing member is adhered to container 2.
The gastight seal applying in step s7 stops air to enter container 2 (by opening 10).Owing to stoping air to enter container 2, stoped container 2 to be back to its complete deployed condition.In other words, when gastight seal is applied to opening 10, if remove the compressive force that is applied to container 2 by guide rail 22, the elasticity of centre portion 8 can attempt to make container 2 to be back to its original (expansion) state.This reduces the air pressure with respect to container 2 outsides the air pressure of container 2 inside.This relatively high air pressure of container 2 outsides will make container 2 remain under its compressive state.
In step s8, rigidity plastics lid is screwed on the threaded portion 12 of container 2.Therefore, form the packing that comprises food.
Figure 10 is the schematic diagram (not drawn on scale) of the expansion drawing of the packing that comprises food 28.
This packing comprises container 2 (under its compressive state), gastight seal 30 and lid 32.
Food 28 is placed in the inside of compression container 2, i.e. the inside of the cavity of container 2 under its compressive state.
The opening 10 of gastight seal 30 airtight containers 2, therefore remains on container 2 under its compressive state.As long as gastight seal 30 keeps complete, 2, container remains under its compressive state, stops air to enter container 2 via opening 10.
Lid 32 comprises female thread portion (not shown).Lid 32 is screwed on the threaded portion 12 of compression container 2.Lid 32 advantageously tends to avoid gastight seal 30 breakages or damages.Especially, lid 32 tends to stop gastight seal 30 desirably not allow air to enter container 2 (and therefore allowing container 2 to be back to its deployed condition).
In this embodiment, lid 32 further comprises a plurality of spines 34 around its circumference.Thereby these spines 34 advantageously tend to be convenient to customer and grasp lid 32 and help to remove lid 32 from container 2.Yet in other embodiments, lid 32 does not comprise described spine, lid 32 is level and smooth.
Lid 32 provides the further airtight sealing of container 2.Therefore any one and the container 2 that, can remove lid 32 or gastight seal 30 still remains under its complete compressive state (because the another one of gastight seal 30 or lid 32 keeps complete so stops expansion of container 2).
In step s10, from filling device, remove the packing that comprises food 28 for delivery of to customer.Because gastight seal 30 stops air, by opening 10, enter container 2, packing remains under its complete compressive state.
Before being transported to customer, packing can for example be coated with ornamental sleeve, and this ornamental sleeve can comprise such as description of operation, nutritional information etc.
Therefore, the method for (using container 2) packaged food 28 is provided.
The method flow diagram of some step of the illustrative methods of the food 28 that Figure 11 provides in packing and pack for demonstration customer can using.
In step s20, customer removes lid 32 by screwing from container 2.
In step s22, customer removes gastight seal 30 from container 2.
In step s24, container 2 is back to its original expansion shape.
Especially, the elasticity of centre portion 8 causes centre portion 8 expansion (making top move separated with base section 4,6).This expansion sucks container 2 by air from external container by opening 10 (removing sealing member 30 from opening 10).Centre portion 8 launch until container 2 under its original complete deployed condition.
In step s26, customer adds the hot liquid of scheduled volume in container 2.
The hot liquid of scheduled volume is the amount that is enough to make food 28 aquations.Can for customer, indicate in any suitable manner the hot liquid of scheduled volume, for example, by the lip-deep mark of container 2, the stand-by hot liquid of container 2 is filled to this mark (i.e. " fill level " mark).
Therefore,, in step s26, food 26 is aquation and heating in container 2.
In this embodiment, by after the liquid aquation of (further) scheduled volume, the volume being occupied by the food 28 of scheduled volume is less than or equal to the volume of container 2 under its complete deployed condition.
In addition, in this embodiment, by after the liquid aquation of (further) scheduled volume, the volume being occupied by the food 28 of scheduled volume is greater than the volume of container 2 under its complete compressive state.
In step s26, customer can be returned to spiral lid 32 on container 2 and by food 28 standing (i.e. " culinary art ") regular hour section.Putting back to of lid 32 advantageously tends to avoid the food 28 of heating and aquation to overflow in cooking process, and also tends to avoid food 28 over cooling before eating of heating and aquation.
In step s28, the content of customer's food container 2 from container 2 (being the food 28 of aquation and heating).
Container 2 advantageously provides vessel, can be by the food 28 of the edible aquation of described vessel.
Therefore the method that, provides customer to use.
Thereby the container of being made by LDPE advantageously tends to make enough relatively simply compressions of flexible permission of container (from complete deployed condition to complete compressive state).Same, the container of being made by LDPE advantageously tends to make the enough elasticity of container, and therefore when removing compressive force from container, the centre portion of container makes container be back to its original deployed condition from compressive state.
Advantageously, thus wall of a container thickness makes that container is enough flexible allows relatively simply compression (from complete deployed condition to compressive state completely).Same, wall of a container thickness advantageously makes the enough elasticity of container, and therefore when removing compressive force from container, the centre portion of container makes container be back to its original deployed condition from compressive state.Preferably, the wall thickness of container 2 is 0.75mm and 1.5mm.
Container is advantageously callable.
Container is advantageously reusable.For example, after edible food, container can recompress and recharge, and applies gastight seal again on (for example spiral lid).The gastight seal applying again stops air to enter container, therefore container is remained under its compression (i.e. compression completely) state.
Preferably, the height (height that comprise the packing of food) of container under its complete compressive state is less than or equal to 45mm.This advantageously makes the packing in the vertical direction that comprises food is joint space-efficient.Therefore, for example, the packing that comprises food tend to commercial aircraft on compatible for food is distributed to client's food service tray.This aircraft food service tray does not comprise the packaging for foodstuff that is highly greater than 45mm conventionally.That is to say, food service tray can easily be deposited aboard.
Volume than container under its complete deployed condition (i.e. volume of a container when customer's edible food), the volume of container under its complete compressive state (volume when packing that comprises food is transferred/is transported to customer) is relatively little.Therefore,, before edible, packing tends to relatively save space and compactness.In other words, for storing and/or transport the space requirement of the packing that comprises food, tend to advantageously reduce.
In addition,, under compressive state, the packing that comprises food is tended to advantageously for example portable by customer.Therefore the packing that, comprises food can easily be taken to such as work place etc. by customer.
The container with deployed condition advantageously makes enough with the vessel that comprise hydrated food prod, to be supplied to customer greatly.Therefore, thus customer can use the container food of edible aquation from container expediently.
The airtight sealing being provided with lid 32 by gastight seal 30 advantageously makes food before being eaten by customer, keep relative fresh (and not polluting).
Above-described filling device advantageously tends to the manufacturing line that provides continuous.This tends to actv. production method.
The volume of container under its deployed condition can advantageously make the food of aquation and heating be no more than centre portion.In this case, the not extensile top section of container is advantageously such region: customer can grasp container and can not feel well due to the heat of the food of aquation and heating.
Should note shown in the diagram of circuit of Fig. 4 and 11 can omit with some method step as above or these method steps can carry out with the order shown in these figure to be different from as mentioned above.In addition, although for facility and easy to understand, all method steps show with discrete temporary transient continuous step, yet certain methods step in fact can be carried out simultaneously or temporary transient overlapping carrying out at least to a certain extent.
In the above-described embodiment, container is generally cylinder form, is made, and can use any suitable method (for example blow molding) to make by LDPE.Yet in other embodiments, container can for example, for different shape (cuboid) and/or be made by different suitable materials.For example, container can be made by silicon.Silicon is advantageously flexible with heat-resisting.In addition, in other embodiments, container can use diverse ways to make.
In other embodiments, container can be made by the compound of two or more different materials.Same, in other embodiments, container can be made by the compound of two or more different materials.For example, in other embodiments, container is made by the compound of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) (HDPE).If container is made by the compound of LDPE and HDPE, the HDPE that preferably compound comprises 5-10% and the LDPE of 90-95%.More preferably, compound comprises 7% HDPE and 93% LDPE.The container of being made by the compound of LDPE and HDPE advantageously tends to increase the rigidity of container and makes that thereby container is enough flexible allows relative simply compression (from complete deployed condition to compressive state completely).Same, the container of being made by the compound of LDPE and HDPE advantageously tends to make the enough elasticity of container, and therefore when removing compressive force from container, the centre portion of container makes container be back to its original deployed condition from compressive state.Same, than the container of only being made by LDPE, the container of being made by the compound of LDPE and HDPE advantageously tends to make more rigidity (harder) of container.This tends to make in the process of routine fill method as described in this article, has reduced or eliminated less desirable container deformation (i.e. distortion distortion of centre portion except the compression process in container extremely complete compressive state of complete deployed condition from it).For example, tend to the not top section of generation container and the distortion of base section (for example, in filling process).
In the above-described embodiment, container is elastomeric, and, when container is compressed into its complete compressive state and remove the compressive force of compression container from container, container is expanded to its complete deployed condition (due to the elasticity of centre portion).Yet in other embodiments, container is not elastomeric.In other words, when container is compressed into its complete compressive state and removes the compressive force of compression container from container, container not Automatic-expanding, to its complete deployed condition, but maintains its compressive state.In this case, can be by applying expansion power (be enough to overcome the resistance of centre portion, be enough to overcome the restoring force of centre portion) thus top section and base section are moved to the separated container that makes is varied to its complete deployed condition from its complete compressive state.In described further embodiment, when removing gastight seal (in the step s24 of the method for Figure 11), container is not back to its deployed condition.On the contrary, thus customer can launch volume of a container by apply expansion power to container.
At container, be not in elastomeric embodiment, sealing (being provided by sealing member 30 and/or lid 32) can be for not bubble-tight, and sealing member can be the dissimilar closure member of the opening for closed container.For example, closure member can allow air to enter container, but stops consumptive material to drop out from container, and for example sealing member can be closure member with holes.In these embodiments, sealing member/closure member is used for stoping consumptive material to leave container, for example, take out from container.
In the above-described embodiment, the centre portion (being the bellows type part between top section and base section that is arranged on of container) by container provides unrolling of container/compression.Yet, in other embodiments, for example, by different device (telescopic structure), provide this expansion/compression function.In other embodiments, centre portion can comprise the conical ring (being the ripple/folding of different numbers or different size) of different numbers and/or different size.
