Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container made of plastic for receiving drinks.
  • Such containers are known from the prior art for some time and increasingly solve glass bottles as beverage containers.
  • the advantage of these plastic containers themselves is in particular the lower weight, the optimal handling in terms of design and partly in the multiple usability.
  • various bottles of various sizes for both small quantities in the range of 200ml to large quantities of 5 liters are known.
  • These containers have a variety of forms.
  • the preforms are inflated or expanded, for example, by means of air pressure to the plastic containers.
  • the preforms are usually entered into a mold and expanded with respect to this form.
  • this means that increasingly greater demands must be placed on the stability of the bottles in relation to the amount of material used.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a container which has a high dimensional stability.
  • a container is to be created, which is simpler and cheaper to manufacture in the context of the expansion process. This is inventively achieved by in container according to claim 1.
  • advantageous Embodiments and developments are the subject of the dependent claims.
  • a container according to the invention made of plastic for receiving drinks has an orifice, a wall section adjoining the mouth in the longitudinal direction of the container and a base section designed as a standing surface, the wall section merging into the bottom section and the container being integrally formed.
  • the bottom section has an injection point located in a radial direction with respect to the longitudinal direction and a central region surrounding this injection point, and a transition section extending from this central region to the wall section, this transition section being in at least one, preferably in several, and particularly preferably in each radial Direction of the container in each geometric section has a curvature with a finite radius of curvature.
  • the radial directions are understood with reference to a longitudinal direction of the container.
  • the bottom portion has no rectilinear portions in the radial direction except for the central area.
  • different curvatures, ie curves in different directions can merge into each other and thus there may be geometric turning points at which mathematically there is no curvature.
  • the advantage of such an embodiment consists in a higher stability and easier formability. By avoiding straight sections, even edges or mathematically speaking non-differentiable areas are avoided and thus the dimensional stability of the particularly sensitive bottom section is increased.
  • the mouth has an external thread.
  • the outer surface or the inner surface of the transition section can be projected in a projection in at least one direction, preferably in several and most preferably in any direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and the second mathematical derivative of a mathematical function representing these curves is not present in any section the curve outside the central region has the value 0.
  • this curve is always curved, although it is conceivable that this curve has individual inflection points in which, for example, a positive curvature changes into a negative curvature. Consequently, a mathematical function describing this curve would possibly have isolated zeros in its second derivative. Points are therefore not considered as a section, sections are rather distances in the mathematical sense.
  • the bottom section is designed point-symmetrical with respect to the injection point. Furthermore, the central area with respect to the geometric center of the bottom portion has a radius which is less than 15 mm, preferably less than 10 mm and more preferably less than 5 mm. In this central area a straight course of the bottom section is possible. In a further advantageous embodiment, the extended Cross-section of the container starting from the mouth towards the wall section.
  • the curve has at least two points in at least one radial direction outside the central region, in which the second mathematical derivative of a mathematical function representing this curve has the value 0.
  • the bottom portion has a family of turning points, which in this embodiment are at a constant distance from the geometric center of the bottle.
  • all inflection points are arranged substantially on a circular line around the geometric center. Essentially, it is understood that the points of inflection with respect to the radius of the container are shifted by not more than 10%, preferably by not more than 5%, with respect to the said circular line.
  • the curve preferably does not have the value 0 in any other radial direction outside the central region at any point.
  • the transition section adjoins directly to the central region.
  • a partial rectilinear central region is provided, which is adjoined directly by the curved transition region of the container.
  • the transition section has a first curvature region with a substantially constant first curvature radius.
  • first curvature region is circular-segment-shaped curved.
  • second curvature region adjoins the first curvature region within the transition section, wherein this second curvature region likewise has a constant second curvature radius.
  • this second curvature region adjoins directly to the first curvature region.
  • the second curvature region not in the form of a circular line but in the form of a so-called polyspline, d. H. a curve that is generated by an nth degree polynomial.
  • the first curvature region is circular.
  • the first curvature region and the second curvature region are curved in the same curvature direction.
  • the radius of curvature of the second curvature region is greater than the curvature radius of the first curvature region.
  • the bottom section is a free-formed bottom section.
  • the shaped body which generates this bottom section is not produced by cutting with a rotary body, but that, for example CAD sketches free mold surfaces were determined, which in turn form the basis for a form in which the container is expanded.
  • Fig. 1 shows a partial representation of a (projection) curve K1 of a bottom portion 24 of a (not shown in its entirety) container according to the prior art.
  • the lines S projecting radially out of the curve K1 give a measure of the curvature of this curve at.
  • the curve K1 has a region 25 in which there is no curvature, ie in which the curve runs in a straight line. This rectilinear section can lead to increased stresses in the corresponding area and also to fractures.
  • the reference symbol B here refers to a point of inflection in which the curvature of the curve K1 changes.
  • the reference numeral 22 denotes a first curvature region and the reference character 26 a second curvature region.
  • Fig. 2a shows a perspective view of a bottom portion according to the invention.
  • the bottom section 4 has an injection point 8 in its center and a central region 6 surrounding this injection point 8. In this case, both the injection point 8 and the central region 6 are formed substantially circular. Within this central region 6, both curved and rectilinear courses of the bottom section are possible.
  • the central region 6 is adjoined by a transition section designated in its entirety by 10, which finally merges into the wall section 2 (not shown in its entirety).
  • the bottom section 4 has hill-like curved areas 3, which ultimately also form the footprints for the container. Between these hills formed areas 3 are each troughs or sinks 5. The number of these depressions 5 and the hill-like curved portions may vary.
  • Fig. 2b shows a sectional view of the in Fig. 2a
  • this sectional view can be seen both an effetachir the bottom portion 4 in a hill-like curved region 3 and the respective devisachir in the respective wells 5.
  • areas of the respective transition section 10a, 10b is curved, that has no straight section. Even in the areas that lie between the sink 5 and the hill-like curved area 3, preferably no bends occur.
  • the reference numeral 10 designates the transition section in its entirety, the reference numerals 3, 5 the considered in a particular direction transition section.
  • the reference numeral 7 refers to a protrusion forming a subsection of the hill-like curved portion 3 and further serving as a standing surface.
  • Fig. 2c shows a side view of a bottom portion 4 according to the invention with a subsequent wall portion 2.
  • the bottom section preferably also has no rectilinear section in a circumferential direction running along the longitudinal axis L along at least one contour line h1.
  • Fig. 3 shows a perspective dash representation to illustrate the curvature ratios.
  • the lines S here again indicate a measure of the curvature of the respective section to be considered.
  • Fig. 3 Preferred is as in Fig. 3 can be seen in such projections of the bottom portion, which do not run through the injection point 8 or through the central region 6, in the entire region of the bottom portion 4 is not a straight course. Also by this procedure, a particularly favorable stability of the container is achieved.
  • Reference character K3 denotes such a curve. This curve K3 has two inflection points B, in which the direction of curvature changes.
  • Fig. 4 1 shows a projection of a geometric curve K1 in the region of a hill-like curved region 3 and a geometric curve K2 in the region of a depression 3.
  • the central region 6 which can also run in a straight line, follows (not shown).
  • the curvature curve K1 has a downward curvature, which is also referred to below as the negative curvature.
  • the negative curvature changes into a positive curvature so that the point B represents a turning point in the mathematical sense.
  • the curvature In the subsection 12 between the point A and the point B, the curvature always changes. Thus, starting from the point A, it first increases in magnitude until it reaches a maximum value and then decreases again to the point B.
  • This curvature can be described by an nth degree polynomial. Between the point B and the point C is followed by another sub-section 13, in which the curvature is positive and increases up to a maximum value in the point C. Between the point C and the point D is followed by a subsection 14 in which the curvature is constant or has a constant curvature radius R1. In other words, the curve K1 here lies on a circle of a circle Kr1. In the point D, the radius of curvature increases abruptly, so that between the point D and the point E is a subsection with constant radius of curvature R2.
  • the curve K2 describes the curvature profile in the region of a depression 5.
  • the curvature is described here by a constant radius of curvature R3.
  • the curves K2 and K1 merge into one another at the point E, and at this point E the wall section 2, which is substantially circular in shape, follows. Preferred is as in Fig. 4 is shown, the radius of curvature R1 is smaller than the radius of curvature R2 and the radius of curvature R3 is greater than the radius of curvature R1, but smaller than the radius of curvature R2.
