Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen dünnwandigen Behälter aus einem flexiblen Basismaterial, welches mit einer ultraschall-schweißbaren flexiblen Schicht überzogen ist, wobei der Behälter eine Wand mit mindestens einem ersten Wandabschnitt, einem zweiten Wandabschnitt, der parallel und eng anliegend zum ersten Wandabschnitt angeordnet ist und einen Längsrand aufweist, und einem dritten Wandabschnitt umfasst, der parallel und mindestens abschnittsweise eng anliegend zum ersten Wandabschnitt angeordnet ist, einen Längsrand aufweist und im Bereich seines Längsrandes den Längsrand des zweiten Wandabschnitts überlappt, wobei der zweite und der dritte Wandabschnitt entlang einer insgesamt quer zu den Längsrändern verlaufenden Schweißlinie mit dem ersten Wandabschnitt verschweißt sind.The present invention relates to a thin-walled container made of a flexible base material, which with a ultrasonically weldable flexible layer is coated, wherein the container has a wall with at least a first Wall section, a second wall section that is parallel and is arranged close to the first wall section and has a longitudinal edge, and a third wall section comprises parallel and at least partially narrow is arranged adjacent to the first wall section, one Has longitudinal edge and in the area of its longitudinal edge Longitudinal edge of the second wall section overlaps, the second and third wall sections along a total welding line running transversely to the longitudinal edges with the first wall section are welded.
Ein derartiger Behälter ist z. B. als Faltbehälter für Milch vom Markt her bekannt. Als Basismaterial wird bei diesem ein flexibler Karton oder eine Folie verwendet, wobei der Karton beidseitig mit einer dünnen Kunststoffschicht überzogen ist. Der bekannte Behälter ist aus einem einstückigen Bogen hergestellt, der zunächst in eine viereckige und rohrähnliche Form gebracht wird. Die Faltung wird so durchgeführt, dass die beiden Längsränder des Bogens sich überlappen und miteinander verklebt oder verschweißt werden können. Um zumindest ein Ende des Behälters flüssigkeitsdicht verschließen zu können, ist er an diesem Ende flachgedrückt.Such a container is e.g. B. as a folding container for milk known from the market. As a base material this one flexible cardboard or a film is used, the cardboard is coated on both sides with a thin plastic layer. The known container is made from a one-piece sheet manufactured, initially in a square and tube-like Is brought into shape. The folding is carried out so that the both longitudinal edges of the sheet overlap and with each other can be glued or welded. At least one end to be able to close the container in a liquid-tight manner is flattened at this end.
Im Bereich des Überlapps der Längsränder liegen somit an dem flachgedrückten Ende drei Lagen der Behälterwand parallel und eng anliegend aneinander, wohingegen außerhalb des Überlapps in dem flachgedrückten Bereich zwei Lagen der Behälterwand parallel zueinander und eng anliegend angeordnet sind. Die Lagen der Behälterwand werden nun in dem flachgedrückten Abschnitt quer zu ihren Längsrändern entlang einer Schweißlinie durch Ultraschall miteinander verschweißt, so dass dieses Ende des Behälters flüssigkeitsdicht verschlossen ist.In the area of the overlap of the longitudinal edges are therefore on the flattened end three layers of the container wall parallel and close together, whereas outside the overlap in the flattened area two layers of the container wall are arranged parallel to each other and closely fitting. The Layers of the container wall are now flattened Section across its longitudinal edges along a Weld line welded to each other by ultrasound, see above that this end of the container is sealed liquid-tight is.
Wie aus der DE 195 00 971 C2 bekannt ist, kann die Verschlussnaht mit einem mit Rücksprung versehenen Ultraschallwerkzeug so erzeugt werden, dass der Materialanhäufung im Überlappungsbereich Rechnung getragen wird.As is known from DE 195 00 971 C2, the Closure seam with a recessed Ultrasonic tool are generated so that the Material accumulation in the overlap area taken into account becomes.
Bei dem bekannten Behälter hat sich jedoch herausgestellt, dass er im Laufe seines "Lebens" oftmals im Bereich der ursprünglich flüssigkeitsdichten Verschweißung aufbricht, also undicht wird. Dies insbesondere dann, wenn im Bereich der Verschweißung bei der Weiterverarbeitung und beim späteren Gebrauch eine Biegung oder Abkantung längs einer Biegelinie durchgeführt wird.In the known container, however, it has been found that during his "life" he often worked in the field of originally liquid-tight welding breaks up, so is leaking. This is particularly the case if the Welding during further processing and later Use a bend or bend along a bend line is carried out.
Die vorliegende Erfindung hat daher die Aufgabe, einen dünnwandigen Behälter der eingangs genannten Art so weiter zu bilden, dass seine Dichtheit für die Produktion und über die durchschnittlich zu erwartende Lebensdauer gewährleistet ist.The present invention therefore has the task of a thin-walled containers of the type mentioned so far form that its tightness for production and over the average expected lifespan is guaranteed.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass die Schweißlinie im Bereich des Überlapps einen Abschnitt aufweist, der in einer in der Behälterwand liegenden Ebene versetzt ist. This task is solved in that the welding line in the Region of the overlap has a section which in a level in the container wall is offset.
Erfindungsgemäß wurde erkannt, dass die Undichtigkeitsstellen häufig im Bereich des Überlapps liegen. Einer der Gründe hierfür ist, dass die ultraschall-schweißbare flexible Schicht, mit der das Basismaterial überzogen ist, beim Verschweißen hart wird und eine relativ spröde Materialanhäufung entsteht. Hierdurch wird im Bereich des Überlapps eine Zone mit geringerer Flexibilität geschaffen. Kommt es nun zu mechanischen Belastungen in diesem Bereich, z. B. Verformungen, Biegungen oder Abkantungen, bilden sich in dem spröde gewordenen und aufgeworfenen Material Risse, welche zu den bekannten Undichtigkeiten führen.According to the invention, it was recognized that the leak points often in the area of the overlap. One of the reasons this is because the ultrasonic weldable flexible Layer with which the base material is coated, at Welding becomes hard and a relatively brittle one Material accumulation arises. This will in the area of Overlap created a zone with less flexibility. If there are mechanical loads in this area, e.g. B. Deformations, bends or bends form in the material, which has become brittle and thrown up, cracks which lead to the known leaks.
Erfindungsgemäß wurde nun erkannt, dass dann, wenn die Schweißlinie mindestens im Bereich des Überlapps versetzt ist, das beim Schweißen geschmolzene und anschließend hart gewordene Material von der besagten Biegelinie ferngehalten werden kann. Hierdurch wird die Biegebelastung - sofern vorhanden - in diesem Bereich reduziert oder sogar eliminiert, was die Lebensdauer der in der Schweißlinie liegenden Schweißnähte erhöht.According to the invention, it has now been recognized that when the Welding line is offset at least in the area of the overlap, that melted during welding and then hard material kept away from said bending line can be. As a result, the bending load - if available - reduced or even eliminated in this area, what is the lifespan of those in the weld line Welds increased.
Der Behälter kann dabei aus einem mit einem ultraschall schweißbaren Kunststoff überzogenen Karton oder alternativ auch aus einem Kunststoffmaterial, z. B. einer Kunststofffolie hergestellt sein. The container can be made from an ultrasound weldable plastic coated cardboard or alternatively also made of a plastic material, e.g. B. a plastic film be made.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in Unteransprüchen angegeben:Advantageous developments of the invention are in Subclaims specified:
Bei einer Weiterbildung ist ein Abschnitt entlang einer Biegelinie, insbesondere um 90° oder um 180°, umgebogen. Ein Umbug um 90° ist z. B. bei einer Faltung gewünscht, welche einen flachen Boden ergeben soll. Ein Umbug um 180° ist z. B. zum Verschließen des Behälters im oberen Bereich vorteilhaft.In a further development, a section is along a Bending line, in particular by 90 ° or by 180 °, bent over. A 90 ° fold is e.g. B. in a fold desired, which should result in a flat floor. A fold around 180 ° B. for closing the container in the upper Area advantageous.
Bei einer anderen Weiterbildung liegt die Biegelinie in der durch die Behälterwand gebildeten Ebene und ist von der Schweißlinie um eine Distanz in entgegengesetzter Richtung zum Versatz beabstandet. Hierbei ist der durch eine Materialanhäufung gekennzeichnete Bereich der Schweißnaht besonders deutlich von dem durch die Biegung belasteten Bereich entfernt angeordnet.In another development, the bending line lies in the plane formed by the container wall and is of the Weld line by a distance in the opposite direction to the Offset spaced. Here is the one Material accumulation marked area of the weld particularly clearly from that burdened by the bend Area located away.
Bei einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind die Wandabschnitte durch eine oder mehrere Faltungen, insbesondere um jeweils 180°, einstückig miteinander verbunden. Ein solcher dünnwandiger Behälter aus einem einstückigen Material ist besonders preiswert und aufgrund des erfindungsgemäßen Versatzes der Schweißlinie dennoch flüssigkeitsdicht. In a development of the invention, the wall sections through one or more folds, in particular around each 180 °, connected in one piece. Such a thin-walled container is made of a one-piece material particularly inexpensive and due to the invention Offset of the welding line is still liquid-tight.
Die Erfindung betrifft auch ein Verfahren zur Herstellung
eines dünnwandigen Behälters nach einem der vorhergehenden
Ansprüche, welches folgende Schritte umfasst:
The invention also relates to a method for producing a thin-walled container according to one of the preceding claims, which comprises the following steps:
- a) Anordnen eines einen Längsrand aufweisenden zweiten Wandabschnitts parallel und eng anliegend an einen ersten Wandabschnitt;a) arranging a second one having a longitudinal edge Wall section parallel and close to a first Wall section;
- b) Anordnen eines einen Längsrand aufweisenden dritten Wandabschnitts parallel und zumindest bereichsweise eng anliegend an den ersten Wandabschnitt, derart, dass sein Längsrand zumindest bereichsweise den Längsrand des zweiten Wandabschnitts überlappt;b) arranging a third having a longitudinal edge Wall section parallel and at least narrow in some areas adjacent to the first wall section, such that its Longitudinal edge at least partially the longitudinal edge of the overlapping second wall section;
- c) Verschweißen der Randabschnitte entlang einer insgesamt quer zu den Längsrändern verlaufenden Schweißlinie.c) welding the edge sections along a total welding line running transversely to the longitudinal edges.
Um einen während der Produktion und über seine gesamte
Lebensdauer flüssigkeitsdichten Behälter herstellen zu können,
wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, dass
In order to be able to produce a container that is liquid-tight during production and over its entire service life, the invention proposes that
- a) die Schweißlinie im Bereich des Überlapps in einer in der Behälterwand liegenden Ebene versetzt wird.a) the weld line in the area of the overlap in one in the Container wall lying level is offset.
Die Erfindung betrifft schließlich auch eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung eines dünnwandigen Behälters, welche eine Ultraschall-Schweißsonotrode und einen Gegenhalter (auch "Amboss" genannt) mit einer beim Verschweißen dem Behälter zugewandten Arbeitskante und einer ebenfalls beim Verschweißen dem Behälter zugewandten Vorderseite umfasst.Finally, the invention also relates to a device for Production of a thin-walled container, which one Ultrasonic welding sonotrode and a backstop (too Called "anvil") with one when welding the container facing working edge and one also during welding front of the container includes.
Derartige Ultraschall-Sonotroden und Gegenhalter werden vor allem zur Herstellung von Behältern für Lebensmittel, wie Milch, Säfte etc. verwendet. Das Temperaturmaximum im Werkstück beim Verschweißen wird mit einer Ultraschall- Sonotrode dort erreicht, wo die Amplitude der in das Werkstück eingebrachten Ultraschallwellen ihr Maximum erreicht. Diese Position hängt u. a. von der Position der beim Verschweißen dem Behälter zugewandten Arbeitskante ab.Such ultrasonic sonotrodes and counterholders are used especially for the production of containers for food, such as Milk, juices etc. used. The temperature maximum in Workpiece during welding is ultrasonically Sonotrode reached where the amplitude of the in the workpiece introduced ultrasonic waves reached their maximum. This Position depends u. a. from the position of the when welding Working edge facing the container.
Um nun den bei dem eingangs genannten dünnwandigen Behälter vorgesehenen Versatz der Schweißlinie erzeugen zu können, wird für die oben genannte Vorrichtung vorgeschlagen, dass die Arbeitskante einen Bereich mit einem Versatz parallel zur Behälterwandebene aufweist. Dieser ist bei der Herstellung der Sonotrode einfach und preiswert zu realisieren, so dass die gewünschte Form der Schweißlinie einfach erzeugt werden kann.To now the thin-walled container mentioned at the beginning to be able to generate the intended offset of the welding line for the above device suggested that the Working area with an offset parallel to the Has container wall level. This is in the making of the Sonotrode easy and inexpensive to implement, so that desired shape of the welding line can be easily generated.
Bei einer Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung hat der Bereich mit dem Versatz in der Vorderansicht trapezförmige Grundform. Ein solcher Versatz ist einerseits einfach herzustellen und vermeidet durch die langsam an- und absteigenden Flanken im Betrieb Unterbrechungen der Schweißlinie. In a development of the device according to the invention the area with the offset in the front view trapezoidal Basic form. On the one hand, such an offset is simple manufacture and avoids by slowly turning on and off descending edges during operation interruptions of the Welding line.
Dabei ist vorteilhaft, wenn die Länge des Bereichs mit dem Versatz in etwa der Breite des Überlapps entspricht. Hierdurch wird der Versatz der Schweißlinie auf den Bereich des Überlapps beschränkt, was fertigungstechnische Vorteile bei der Weiterbearbeitung des herzustellenden Behälters hat.It is advantageous if the length of the area with the Offset roughly corresponds to the width of the overlap. Hereby the offset of the welding line to the area of the Limited overlaps, which adds manufacturing advantages the further processing of the container to be manufactured.
Die Höhe des Versatzes richtet sich im wesentlichen nach der Menge des im Bereich des Überlapps aufgeworfenen Kunststoffs. Beliebig hoch sollte der Versatz aber aus im Zusammenhang mit der Weiterverarbeitung stehenden fertigungstechnischen Gründen nicht sein. Als günstig hat sich in dieser Hinsicht für übliche Behälter (z. B. Milch- und Saftbehälter) erwiesen, wenn die Höhe des Versatzes ungefähr 0,5 bis 4 mm beträgt.The amount of the offset depends essentially on the Amount of plastic thrown up in the area of the overlap. However, the offset should be arbitrarily high in connection with the further processing related manufacturing reasons Not be. Has proven favorable in this regard for Usual containers (e.g. milk and juice containers) proved if the height of the offset is approximately 0.5 to 4 mm.
Weiter ist vorgesehen, dass die Vorderseite der Sonotrode oder die Vorderseite des Gegenhalters oder beide Vorderseiten einen Rücksprung aufweisen, wobei die Tiefe des Rücksprungs bzw. die Summe der Tiefen der Rücksprünge in etwa der Dicke eines Wandabschnitts des zu verschweißenden Behälters entspricht. Dies ermöglicht, dass auch im Bereich des Überlapps die Arbeitskante dicht am zu verschweißenden Werkstück anliegt, so dass auch in diesem dreilagigen Bereich der notwendige Druck auf das Werkstück aufgebracht und die Energie optimal von der Sonotrode in das Werkstück übertragen werden kann, ohne dass Quetschungen auftreten, die beim Verschweißen zu Verbrennungen des zu verschweißenden Materials führen können.It is also provided that the front of the sonotrode or the front of the counter bracket or both front one Have recess, the depth of the recess or the Sum of the depths of the recesses roughly the thickness of one Corresponds to the wall section of the container to be welded. This enables that also in the area of the overlap Working edge lies close to the workpiece to be welded, see above that even in this three-layer area the necessary pressure applied to the workpiece and the energy optimally from the Sonotrode can be transferred into the workpiece without Crushes occur which, when welded, result in burns of the material to be welded.
Nachfolgend wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf die beiliegende Zeichnung im Detail erläutert. In der Zeichnung zeigen:An exemplary embodiment of the invention is described below Reference to the accompanying drawing explained in detail. The drawing shows:
Fig. 1 eine Ansicht in der Art einer perspektivischen Explosionsdarstellung eines Abschnitts eines dünnwandigen Behälters, einer Sonotrode und eines Gegenhalters; Fig. 1 is a view in the manner of an exploded perspective view of a portion of a thin-walled container, a sonotrode and an anvil;
Fig. 2 eine Ansicht ähnlich Fig. 1 aus einer anderen Perspektive; Fig. 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 from a different perspective.
Fig. 3 eine vergrößerte Detailansicht von vorne eines Bereichs der Sonotrode von Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail view from the front of a portion of the horn of FIG. 1;
Fig. 4 eine perspektivische Ansicht der Vorderseite des Gegenhalters von Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the front of the counter holder of Fig. 1;
Fig. 5 eine Schnittansicht durch den Behälterabschnitt von Fig. 1; und Fig. 5 is a sectional view through the container section of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 6 eine Rückansicht des Behälterabschnitts von Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a rear view of the container portion of Fig. 1,.
In Fig. 1 trägt ein oberer Abschnitt eines dünnwandigen Behälters das Bezugszeichen 10, eine Sonotrode zum Ultraschallschweißen das Bezugszeichen 12 und ein entsprechender Gegenhalter ("Amboss") das Bezugszeichen 14. In FIG. 1, an upper section of a thin-walled container has the reference number 10 , a sonotrode for ultrasonic welding has the reference number 12 and a corresponding counter-holder (“anvil”) has the reference number 14 .
Wie besonders gut aus Fig. 5 ersichtlich ist, ist der Behälter aus einem flexiblen Basismaterial 16 hergestellt, im vorliegenden Fall einem dünnen Karton. Beidseitig ist das Material mit einem ultraschall-schweißbaren flexiblen Kunststoff überzogen, der in Fig. 5 das Bezugszeichen 18 trägt.As can be seen particularly well from FIG. 5, the container is made of a flexible base material 16 , in the present case a thin cardboard. The material is coated on both sides with an ultrasonically weldable flexible plastic which bears the reference symbol 18 in FIG. 5.
Der obere Abschnitt 10 des Behälters umfasst einen ersten Wandabschnitt 20, einen zweiten Wandabschnitt 22 und einen dritten Wandabschnitt 24. Alle drei Wandabschnitte 20, 22 und 24 sind durch Faltungen 26 und 28 um jeweils 180° einstückig miteinander verbunden. Der zweite Wandabschnitt 22 liegt eng am ersten Wandabschnitt 20 an und ist parallel zu diesem angeordnet. Gleiches gilt auch für den dritten Wandabschnitt 24, mit der Ausnahme, dass dieser im Bereich seines Längsrandes 30 einen Längsrand 32 (Fig. 2) des zweiten Wandabschnitts 22 überlappt, in diesem Bereich also nicht mehr eng am ersten Wandabschnitt 20 anliegt. Der im Bereich der Längsränder 30 bzw. 32 des zweiten Wandabschnitts 22 bzw. des dritten Wandabschnitts 24 gebildete Überlapp trägt das Bezugszeichen 34.The upper portion 10 of the container includes a first wall portion 20 , a second wall portion 22, and a third wall portion 24 . All three wall sections 20 , 22 and 24 are integrally connected to each other by folds 26 and 28 by 180 °. The second wall section 22 lies closely against the first wall section 20 and is arranged parallel to the latter. The same applies to the third wall section 24 , with the exception that this overlaps a longitudinal edge 32 ( FIG. 2) of the second wall section 22 in the area of its longitudinal edge 30 , that is to say no longer lies closely against the first wall section 20 in this area. The overlap formed in the area of the longitudinal edges 30 and 32 of the second wall section 22 and of the third wall section 24 bears the reference number 34 .
Wie besonders gut aus den Fig. 1 und 6 ersichtlich ist, verläuft im Bereich des oberen Abschnitts 10 des Behälters quer zu den Längsrändern 30 bzw. 32 der Wandabschnitte 22 bzw. 24 eine kreuzschraffiert dargestellte Schweißlinie 36, entlang der der Kunststoffüberzug 18 des Kartons 16 zumindest bereichsweise angeschmolzen, aufgeworfen und wieder verhärtet ist. Hierdurch sind die Wandabschnitte 20, 22 und 24 entlang dieser Schweißlinie 36 miteinander verbunden.As can be seen particularly well from FIGS. 1 and 6, a cross-hatched weld line 36 runs in the area of the upper section 10 of the container transversely to the longitudinal edges 30 and 32 of the wall sections 22 and 24 , along which the plastic coating 18 of the carton 16 is melted, thrown up and hardened again at least in some areas. As a result, the wall sections 20 , 22 and 24 are connected to one another along this welding line 36 .
Die Schweißlinie 36, also jener Bereich, bei dem während des Schweißvorganges die maximale Temperatur erreicht wird, ist dabei jedoch im Bereich des Überlapps 34 nach oben hin trapezartig versetzt. Der versetzte Bereich befindet sich dabei wie auch der Rest der Schweißlinie in einer durch die Behälterwand 20, 22, und 24 gebildeten Ebene 38. Jener Bereich der Schweißlinie 36, der versetzt ist, trägt das Bezugszeichen 40. Die Höhe des Versatzes 40 hängt von der beim Verschweißen aufgeworfenen Materialmenge ab und beträgt in der Regel 0,5 bis 4 mm.The welding line 36 , that is to say the region in which the maximum temperature is reached during the welding process, is offset trapezoidally in the region of the overlap 34 . The offset region, like the rest of the weld line, is located in a plane 38 formed by the container wall 20 , 22 , and 24. That area of the welding line 36 which is offset is identified by the reference symbol 40 . The height of the offset 40 depends on the amount of material thrown up during welding and is usually 0.5 to 4 mm.
Nach dem Verschweißen wird der in der Zeichnung dargestellte obere Abschnitt 10 des Behälters um eine strichpunktiert dargestellte Biegelinie 42 um 180° umgebogen. Die Biegelinie 42 liegt dabei ebenfalls in der Ebene 38 und - bis auf die Flanken des Bereichs 40 - parallel zur Schweißlinie 36. Sie ist jedoch von der Schweißlinie um eine Distanz a entgegen der durch den Versatz 40 gebildeten "Ausbuchtung" von der Schweißlinie 36 beabstandet. Die Distanz a beträgt üblicherweise ungefähr 0,5 bis 5 mm.After welding, the upper section 10 of the container shown in the drawing is bent over a bending line 42 shown in broken lines by 180 °. The bending line 42 also lies in the plane 38 and - apart from the flanks of the area 40 - parallel to the welding line 36 . However, it is spaced apart from the welding line by a distance a from the welding line 36 , contrary to the “bulge” formed by the offset 40 . The distance a is usually about 0.5 to 5 mm.
Wie aus den Fig. 1 und 6 ersichtlich ist, verläuft die Biegelinie 42 im Bereich des Überlapps 34 aufgrund des Versatzes 40 außerhalb der Schweißlinie 36, also auch außerhalb der verschweißten Bereiche. Auf diese Weise wird die Schweißnaht zwischen den Wandabschnitten 20, 22 und 24, die aufgrund der Materialanhäufung durch die Schmelze weniger flexibel ist, durch das Umbiegen weniger oder sogar überhaupt nicht belastet, so dass die hart gewordene Schmelze des Kunststoffüberzugs 18 durch das Umbiegen nicht reißen kann. Hierdurch wird eine erheblich erhöhte Sicherheit gegenüber einer Undichtigkeit des Behälters an dieser Stelle geschaffen.As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 6, the bending line 42 runs in the area of the overlap 34 due to the offset 40 outside the welding line 36 , that is also outside the welded areas. In this way, the weld seam between the wall sections 20 , 22 and 24 , which is less flexible due to the material accumulation by the melt, is less or not at all stressed by the bending, so that the hardened melt of the plastic coating 18 does not tear due to the bending can. This creates a considerably increased security against leakage of the container at this point.
Es sei jedoch hier ausdrücklich darauf hingewiesen, dass die erfindungsgemäßen Vorteile auch bereits bei einem geringeren Versatz 40 erhalten werden können. Wesentlich ist, dass durch den Versatz 40 der Schweißlinie 36 das Zentrum der Schmelzebildung aus der Biegelinie 42 herausgenommen wird.However, it should be expressly pointed out here that the advantages according to the invention can also be obtained with a smaller offset 40 . It is essential that the offset 40 of the welding line 36 removes the center of the melt formation from the bending line 42 .
Der in den Fig. 1 und 6 dargestellte Versatz 40 der Schweißlinie 36 wird durch eine besondere Gestaltung der Sonotrode 12 ermöglicht, welche nun erläutert wird:The offset 40 of the welding line 36 shown in FIGS. 1 and 6 is made possible by a special design of the sonotrode 12 , which is now explained:
Die Sonotrode 12 weist eine beim Verschweißen dem oberen Abschnitt 10 des Behälters zugewandte Vorderseite 43 auf, welche in ihrem oberen und unteren Bereich im Querschnitt teilkreisförmig abgerundet ist, an den Stoßstellen der beiden Bereiche jedoch eine Arbeitskante 44 bildet. In ihrer Mitte weist die Arbeitskante 44 einen Bereich mit einem senkrecht zur Sonotrodenebene hochgezogenen Versatz 46 auf, der in der in den Fig. 1 und 3 dargestellten Ansicht trapezförmige Grundform hat.The sonotrode 12 has a during welding of the upper portion 10 of the container facing front side 43, which is part-circular rounded at its upper and lower region in the cross section, but is at the joints of the two regions a working edge 44th In the middle, the working edge 44 has an area with an offset 46 drawn up perpendicular to the sonotrode plane, which in the view shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 has a trapezoidal basic shape.
In der insgesamt ebenen Vorderseite 48 des Gegenhalters 14 findet sich ein Rücksprung 50 mit in der Draufsicht ebenfalls trapezförmiger Grundform (vergl. Fig. 4). Die Tiefe des Rücksprungs 50 in der Vorderseite 48 des Gegenhalters 14 entspricht in etwa der Dicke des Wandabschnitts 24. Es sei an dieser Stelle ausdrücklich darauf hingewiesen, dass ein solcher Rücksprung auch in der Sonotrode und auch in Kombination mit dem besagten Versatz vorhanden sein könnte. Eine solche Kombination ist jedoch fertigungstechnisch aufwendiger und daher kostenintensiver. Auch könnte die Vorderseite der Sonotrode insgesamt eben und diejenige des Gegenhalters mit einer Arbeitskante mit entsprechendem Versatz ausgebildet sein.In the overall flat front 48 of the counter-holder 14 there is a recess 50 with a basic shape that is also trapezoidal in plan view (see FIG. 4). The depth of the recess 50 in the front 48 of the counter-holder 14 corresponds approximately to the thickness of the wall section 24 . At this point it should be expressly pointed out that such a return could also be present in the sonotrode and also in combination with the said offset. However, such a combination is more complex in terms of production technology and therefore more expensive. The front of the sonotrode as a whole could also be flat and that of the counter holder with a working edge with a corresponding offset.
Zum Verschweißen wird der obere Abschnitt 10 des Behälters zwischen der Arbeitskante 44 der Sonotrode 12 und der Vorderseite 48 des Gegenhalters 14 verklemmt. Dabei werden die Sonotrode 12 und der Gegenhalter 14 so angeordnet, dass der Rücksprung 50 in der Vorderseite 48 des Gegenhalters 14 im Bereich des Überlapps 34 der beiden Wandabschnitte 22 und 24 angeordnet ist. Aufgrund des Rücksprungs 50 in der Vorderseite 48 des Gegenhalters 14 liegt die Arbeitskante 44 der Sonotrode trotz der Verdickung im Bereich des Überlapps 34 am oberen Abschnitt 10 des Behälters vollständig an, so dass die Ultraschallenergie effektiv in den zu verschweißenden Bereich eingekoppelt wird.For welding, the upper section 10 of the container is clamped between the working edge 44 of the sonotrode 12 and the front side 48 of the counter holder 14 . The sonotrode 12 and the counter-holder 14 are arranged such that the recess 50 is arranged in the front 48 of the counter-holder 14 in the region of the overlap 34 of the two wall sections 22 and 24 . Due to the recess 50 in the front 48 of the counter-holder 14 , the working edge 44 of the sonotrode lies completely against the upper section 10 of the container despite the thickening in the area of the overlap 34 , so that the ultrasonic energy is effectively coupled into the area to be welded.
Im Betrieb bildet sich die Schweißlinie 36, also jener Bereich, in dem die Temperatur beim Verschweißen maximal ist und der Kunststoffüberzug geschmolzen wird, dort, wo die Ultraschallschwingungen einen "Wellenberg" bilden. Die Position dieses Wellenbergs liegt in konstantem Abstand von der Arbeitskante 44 der Sonotrode 12. Durch die Form der Arbeitskante 44 der Sonotrode 12 wird daher im Betrieb der Versatz 40 der Schweißlinie 36 erreicht.During operation, the welding line 36 , that is to say the region in which the temperature during welding is maximum and the plastic coating is melted, is where the ultrasonic vibrations form a "wave crest". The position of this wave crest lies at a constant distance from the working edge 44 of the sonotrode 12 . Due to the shape of the working edge 44 of the sonotrode 12 , the offset 40 of the welding line 36 is therefore achieved during operation.
