Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of deep-drawing a blank to manufacture a container comprising a base with walls joined thereto comprising the steps:
  • a deep-drawing blank comprising a base part that is intended to form a base of the container after deep-drawing, at least two, essentially rectangular wall parts each extending from an adjoining side of the base part and intended to form, after deep-drawing, essentially flat wall parts of the container projecting upwards from the container base, and corner parts which are intended to form curved corner or transition parts after deep-drawing, each extending between two said wall parts, and
  • Containers of different sizes are used among other things for packaging foodstuffs such as for example essentially square, PP film coated steel containers with tapering walls for packaging animal foods, often referred to as pet food containers.
  • Such a container is produced by deep-drawing from a deep-drawing blank. After deep-drawing the container generally undergoes some further treatmen . To this end the production process may include the steps of processing the deep-drawn container in order to obtain an exact flange width on its rim, and beading or turning the flange.
  • This buckling may be differentiated into two types: (a) primary and (b) secondary buckling.
  • Primary buckling also referred to as wrinkling
  • wrinkling is buckling that occurs in the flange of the deep-drawn product.
  • This primary buckling has a disadvantageous effect on the flatness of the closing edge, the so-called sealing edge. If this wrinkling is too large then the container cannot be sealed. Wrinkling can be suppressed by, among other techniques, applying a higher blank-holder force.
  • Secondary buckling also referred to " simply as
  • buckling is buckling in a corner of the container. This secondary buckling, if extensive, results in separation of the film and paint coating on the inside and the outside of the container respectively. This dela ination can cause the base material of the container to corrode. When less extensive, the secondary buckling can lead to damage to the film and/or the paint coating. In this situation too the base material can corrode. One consequence of the corrosion can be that a foodstuff packed in the container is more likely to decay.
  • the secondary buckling is not easy to prevent by adjusting the blank-holder force during the deep-drawing process because, when deep-drawing a container with tapering walls, a free forming zone is present in the deep- drawing blank between the punch and the die. If the blank- holder force is too high it can cause fracture of the deep- drawing blank. That might be avoided by varying the blank- holder force, but this is difficult to do in practice due to the high rate of production required for deep-drawing containers.
  • a buckle-free container In order to prevent the problems described, it is desirable to be able to produce a buckle-free container. In addition a buckle-free container is aesthetically more pleasing.
  • Producing the container in accordance with the method of the invention can reduce or prevent the occurrence of secondary buckling. By reducing the occurrence of secondary buckling less undesired delamination of the coating appears and at the same time an aesthetic effect is obtained as a consequence of an attractive buckle-free container.
  • a method of the type stated in the preamble wherein the geometry for the deep-drawing blank is so arranged that a standard value or coefficient K, defined as the quotient of the surface area of the wall parts of the blank and the surface area of the corner parts of the blank, is chosen to be less than or equal to a given critical value.
  • the present invention is based on the finding that the dimensionless parameter or coefficient K, which can be called the blank ratio, has been found to have a predictive value in respect of the occurrence of secondary buckling.
  • This blank ratio is the ratio of the flange surface area of the wall part and the flange surface area for the corner or transition part. It has been found that when K is less than or equal to a critical value, no significant secondary buckling occurs during the deep- drawing of a metal container.
  • the critical K value is dependent, on among other things, the geometry of the
  • the critical value of the standard value or coefficient K is less than or not substantially greater than 1. In this situation the secondary buckling is reduced compared to the present situation.
  • the critical value of the standard value or coefficient K is less than or not substantially greater than 0.9 so that the secondary buckling is reduced still further.
  • the critical value of the standard value or coefficient K is less than or not substantially greater than 0.85, which has been shown to virtually eliminate secondary buckling at least for one shape of container.
  • the method in accordance with the invention may be further characterised by including a step wherein the container manufactured by the deep-drawing is processed, for example by taking away material by trimming (edge cutting) , so that a suitable edge is obtained on the container on the side remote from the base of the walls extending away from the base.
  • the method may include a further step in which said edge is processed into a flange edge, for example by turning or beading.
  • the method in accordance with the invention can be employed to manuf cture a wide range of containers.
  • a container comprising a base part from which extend upstanding peripheral walls comprising two straight wall parts and two rounded corner or transition parts, but also such a container comprising three, four or more such wall parts joined by associated rounded corner or transition parts.
  • the method in accordance with the invention is particularly suitable for the manufacture of containers comprising a base part which is essentially rectangular, from which extend upstanding peripheral walls comprising four essentially flat wall parts and four curved corner or transition parts joining the wall parts.
  • the method in accordance with the invention is employable for manufacturing containers with an essentially square base part.
  • the symmetry of the container assists the flow behaviour of the blank material so that an attractive, buckle-free container is produced.
  • the method is especially suitable for processing a deep-drawing blank into a container, wherein the deep-drawing blank comprises a metal substrate suitable for deep-drawing.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un procédé de fabrication d'un récipient constitué d'une base à partir de laquelle prennent naissance des parois et obtenu par l'emboutissage d'une ébauche. Le procédé consiste, d'une part, à former une ébauche à emboutir, pourvue d'un élément devant constituer la base du récipient après emboutissage, d'au moins deux éléments, sensiblement rectangulaires, partant de l'élément devant constituer la base et se trouvant bord à bord avec celui-ci, ces éléments devant constituer les parois, sensiblement plates et dressées verticalement, du récipient après emboutissage ainsi que d'éléments devant constituer les coins recourbés du récipient après emboutissage, chaque coin se trouvant entre deux parois, et, d'autre part, à emboutir l'ébauche afin de former le récipient. La géométrie de l'ébauche est telle qu'un coefficient K de valeur nominale, défini comme le quotient de la surface des parois et de celle des coins, est inférieur ou égal à une valeur critique.
