Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1, to a device according to the preamble of claim 17 and to a can body according to the preamble of claim 20, see, for. B. DE A 1452556 ,
  • Vessels with metallic walls or with jacket and bottom, in particular aerosol cans with a decor, are formed in one or more parts.
  • the cylindrical can body is provided by means of cold extrusion. Subsequently, a valve seat is formed at the open end by upset necking. This manufacturing process is very expensive due to the required for the many processing steps and the water and energy requirements for cleaning and drying.
  • the US 4,095,544 and the EP 0 666 124 A1 describe the production of seamless steel cans.
  • the cylindrical can body is produced by means of stamping, pressing and ironing out of a tin or plastic-coated steel sheet.
  • the predetermined by the known laser welds shape design of the cans in the connecting areas between the can wall and bottom or valve seat are unattractive and also can be achieved with sufficient quantities per unit time with the known methods no cost production.
  • the longitudinal welds described, in particular also from the US 4,341,943 known laser welds have small steps or differences in thickness in the circumferential direction, which lead to problems at the can body and increased stress on the constriction tools in the constriction of the neck portion.
  • a method of forming a neck portion in which a deformation surface cooperates with a support surface to deform the can wall between these two surfaces under tensile forces.
  • the deformation surface is thereby moved radially inwardly, wherein the can wall is always in contact with the radially inner abutting support surface.
  • a decoration is attached to the outside of the lateral surface.
  • printed films are applied to the can body.
  • a decorative film is wound in the circumferential direction directly on the can body and connected to the can body to form a closed film envelope.
  • the separation of a piece of film is very difficult with thin films.
  • a sealing surface is pressed against the can body, which is not practical in thin-walled cans due to the too small stability.
  • the formation of a hull-free sealed joint over the entire can height is not possible.
  • the printable, commercially available plastic film Label-Lyte ROSO LR 400 from Mobil Oil Corporation comprises a thin sealing layer on both sides and is available in a thickness of 20 ⁇ m and 50 ⁇ m.
  • the sealing layer applied to the winding mandrel is also heated and pressed against the winding mandrel.
  • the film now has different sliding properties. Further problems may arise from frictional electrostatic charges and the associated electrostatic forces acting on the foil.
  • the transfer of the cylindrically closed film from the mandrel to a can body is problematic, even if the diameter of the winding mandrel is slightly larger than the diameter of the can body.
  • the present invention has for its object to find a solution with the aesthetically attractive cans can be produced inexpensively and with simple facilities.
  • Can bodies are to be understood as meaning all vessels, in particular also tubes and vessel-shaped intermediate products.
  • a method for forming a neck portion at the open can end according to claim 16 a method for setting a dose termination valve, according to claim 22, a can body with a valve seat and according to claim 23, a can body with a can end with valve Which objects are new and inventive, regardless of the can production.
  • a longitudinal seam can then be formed particularly efficiently and with extremely high quality, if it can be produced continuously over long longitudinal expansions.
  • a longitudinal seam can be produced continuously over a large longitudinal extent if the longitudinal seam is welded to directly adjacent, circumferentially closed can jacket surfaces or during pipe production. After welding, the adjoining canned coats can be separated from each other, with the seam possibly having to be cut off. From a pipe, the closed lateral surfaces are separated as pipe sections.
  • a tube is preferably made of a metal strip, for example according to the DE 198 34 400 produced.
  • a forming device continuously shapes the metal strip so that the two side edges come into contact with each other, and the welding device welds these side edges together.
  • the deformation of the strip into a tube shape is preferably carried out by bending the strip in its transverse direction about a tube axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tube.
  • the cross-sectional shape can be chosen during forming so that the welding can be carried out efficiently.
  • Pipe is to be understood as meaning around an axis leading, closed lateral surfaces.
  • a flattened tube is made, preferably two incisions are formed in the band perpendicular to the ribbon axis before forming in the flat band. These cuts are arranged so that they lie in the curved areas of the flattened endless can jacket after a forming step of the strip. As a result, cutting can be restricted to the flattened area between the curvature areas when separating the desired can jacket sections.
  • the metal strip is unwound from a roll and can therefore have a very large length. If the roll change is solved so that the beginning of the new roll connects directly to the end of the old role, so can be assumed that a continuous pipe production. In this case, the longitudinal seam can be formed essentially as an uninterrupted seam with great precision. .
  • sections of the size of a can jacket are first severed. From these sections, closed can coats can be formed. In a preferred embodiment, these can jackets are flattened with two regions of curvature. The longitudinal seam is welded to sections directly adjacent to each other. Directly adjoining sections with the same cross-sectional shape form a tube.
  • the welding device preferably remains stationary and the tubular shaped metal sheet is moved past the welding device.
  • Various welding methods can be used to form the seam.
  • the seam is produced by means of laser welding.
  • the edges of the metal strip connected by the welding meet, if appropriate, overlapping, but preferably blunt or butt each other.
  • steps or thickness differences can also be avoided in the region of the seam, so that a substantially constant wall thickness of the tube in the circumferential direction is ensured. This is particularly advantageous for the formation of a narrowed neck portion. Sections of the length of the desired can height are separated from the continuously formed tube.
  • a new and inventive separation method can be used.
  • the known separation processes are sawing processes.
  • a release agent such as a cutting disc or a saw blade, carried along with the resulting pipe during the sawing process. After separating a pipe section, the release agent is reset. Due to the short pipe sections that are needed in a can manufacture, the known separation devices are not sufficient because they can not separate and reset quickly enough.
  • Another disadvantage of the known separation devices is that when separating especially thin-walled pipes there is a risk of deformation and thus jamming.
  • sawdust which would make additional cleaning steps would be necessary and / or could make problems in the further can manufacturing steps.
  • a cutting method can be used advantageously for thin sheets.
  • the flattened tube is guided on a base, which can cooperate with a cutting edge.
  • the cutting edge is moved with the pipe and by cutting through the abutting wall portions of the pipe by moves.
  • the decorative film can be separated directly together with the stability-giving part of the can jacket. This can be dispensed with a separate separation of thin film pieces.
  • the decorative film could be applied to the metal sheet before pipe formation, but then the film in the longitudinal seam would be affected when welding the longitudinal seam.
  • the film is first applied to the welded pipe. This is preferably done by feeding a film strip in the direction of the tube axis, wherein the film strip is folded around the tube in the circumferential direction, so that the two film edges abut each other or slightly overlap. The adhesion of the decorative film to the pipe is achieved approximately with a sealing process.
  • the film can be separated directly when cutting the open or closed shell sections together with the stability-giving part of the can jacket. This can be dispensed with a separate separation of thin film pieces.
  • the decorative film can be arranged on the flat material so that it does not extend to the end face at one edge region and protrudes beyond the end surface at the other edge region.
  • the above film region is not firmly sealed in an edge region of the flat material, so that this free film edge can be transferred away from the region of the weld seam before the formation of the weld seam.
  • the free edge of the film can be placed over the weld seam and sealed tightly.
  • the longitudinal seam is completely covered. It has been shown that for welding the longitudinal seam lasers can be used, which form only a very narrow seam. In the area of a narrow seam, the decorative foil can be removed with another laser. It can be dispensed with a film-free edge area and the decorative film over the entire width are applied to the metal sheet.
  • Such a small constriction would be to form advantageous connections between the can jacket and a Can bottom very suitable.
  • the constriction would expediently be formed with a radius of curvature which corresponds to a shape prevailing in aerosol cans in the transition from the can wall to the bottom of the can.
  • a can bottom can be applied to the narrowed edge region and connected with a circumferential weld tightly with the can jacket. If the bottom of the can from the inside of the can is applied to the constriction and welded, so you can see in a standing on a support surface box only the narrowing of the can wall against the support surface. The inserted bottom of the can is not visible.
  • the can has the appearance of an aluminum monobloc can in the area of the bottom of the can.
  • a necking process known in the art such as neck-necking or spin-flow necking, may be performed at the top of the can jacket.
  • This constriction can be carried out until the formation of the valve seat.
  • a closing element with the valve seat at the upper narrowed end can be arranged tightly.
  • the connection is formed as a folded connection, but preferably as a welding, in particular as a laser welding connection. The insertion of a closure element with valve seat ensures the production of cans with an extremely accurate valve seat with a simple manufacturing process.
  • a shoulder-shaped constriction on an end face of the can jacket and a correspondingly shaped edge region of the closing element is required for the dense pressing of a closure element to the can jacket can be at least one, optionally on both end faces each an annular bulge radially outwardly pronounced. This creates a cross-sectional constriction against the respective end face.
  • an upper end element can be firmly welded to the respective constriction.
  • the floor is first welded. Before or optionally after the welding of the upper end element of the can jacket can still be reshaped, for example, in which the can cross section is widened at least to the diameter of the at least one bulge.
  • a fluid is introduced under pressure into the can interior to expand the can cross-section and pressed the can jacket in an inner mold, which, for example, from the patents EP 853 513 B1 .
  • EP 853 514 B1 and EP 853 515 B1 is known.
  • Other methods known in the art for expanding and forming a can jacket may also be used.
  • a bottom cover is used so that the connection of the can jacket is covered with the bottom of the can through them.
  • the bottom cover is made of plastic sheet material.
  • flat material with at least one metal, in particular aluminum or steel layer, or even with a cardboard layer can be used.
  • the stability-giving Layer optionally coated with plastic.
  • the flat materials used are intended to ensure a robust bottom cover, which is not damaged on the conveyors of the filling systems and remains as stable as possible when standing on wet documents.
  • the bottom cover may be provided with a sealing layer so that it can be sealed to the ground. Instead of a sealing connection, a catch connection or a welded connection, in particular with at least three laser welding points, may also be formed to secure the bottom cover. If a magnetizable bottom cover is used, then this can also allow for can bodies made of non-magnetizable material promotion with magnetic conveyors.
  • a can body with decorative film is particularly advantageous when using a film which is optionally printed on its outside or front side, but preferably on the side facing the can body or back.
  • a transparent film printed on the back the print layer is protected by the film, so that no impairment of the decor due to friction can occur.
  • a printed on the back of a transparent transparent film can be provided after printing on the print layer with a sealing layer, which also ensures a firm seal connection through the print layer between the film and the can body and in the overlap region between the film edges.
  • the printing layer on the backside of the film substantially performs the function of a primer and the remaining decoration is printed on the front side of the film.
  • primer this can only be a monotonous base color or even a part of the decor, for example, the flat color or the image design.
  • the preprinted on the back in a first printing film web is printed in a further printing step on the front.
  • This further printing step can optionally be carried out at the can manufacturer, or in a second printing company, in order to apply specific decor information. This means, for example, that labels are applied to a basic décor in the further printing step, which are different for the respective sales markets.
  • For printing on the front side it is possible to use any printing method known from the prior art, optionally with surface treatments carried out after printing.
  • FIG. 1 shows a system for producing can bodies, in which a metal strip 1 is supplied from a metal strip supply roll 2 via a deflecting device, for example a first guide roller 3, in the direction of a processing axis different processing stations for producing a tube formed by forming and welding.

  • two counter-rotating conveyor caterpillars 15 are provided which press from opposite sides against the tube 11 and take the pipe 11 frictionally. Because the seam-covering tape 8 has to reach the film-free area 11b, the pipe 11 is compressed at least in the area of the seam-covering tape 8. This compression is optionally achieved in part by the conveyor 15.
  • Fig. 2c at least a pair of flat roller 16a provided. So that two lateral folding areas 11 c receive a defined shape, it may be expedient to associate the two flat pressing rollers 16 a with lateral forming rollers 16 b. By the rollers 16a and 16b in pairs opposite each other Press against the tube 11, the tube 11 can be formed into a desired cross-sectional shape.

Because the pipe sections or can shells 24 do not have to have a defined shape after the separation step, preferably a cutting operation is carried out with a cutting edge 25 and a base 26 cooperating with the cutting edge 25. Due to the substantially flat pressed tube 11, the required stroke for the cutting movement shown by the arrows 25a is small. The small stroke enables a quick cutting process.
