Definitions

  • the invention relates to a refillable plastic container, in particular made of polyethylene terephthalate or polyethylene furanoate, according to the independent patent claims.
  • the containers made of tin or colored sheet metal, glass or ceramic that were common in the past are increasingly being replaced by containers made of plastic.
  • plastic containers have recently been used.
  • the low weight and lower costs certainly play a significant role in this substitution.
  • the use of recyclable plastic materials and the overall more favorable overall energy balance in their production also help to promote the acceptance of plastic containers among users.
  • Plastic containers especially plastic bottles, made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and similar materials are usually manufactured using a so-called stretch blow molding process.
  • a preform is produced in an injection molding process in an injection mold.
  • extrusion processes or extrusion blow molding processes have also been proposed for the production of preforms.
  • the preform has a substantially elongated preform body and is designed to be closed at one longitudinal end. There is also usually an injection point resulting from injection molding.
  • At the other end of the preform body is a neck section which is provided with a pouring opening.
  • the neck section already has the later shape of the container neck.
  • the preform body and the neck section are separated from one another by a so-called support ring.
  • the support ring projects radially from the neck wall and is used to transport the preform or the plastic container made from it and to support the preform on the blow molding tool or the plastic container when closing it with a closure cap.
  • the standard "PCO-1881 28mm Standard” discloses a container according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the preform is removed from the mold and can be processed immediately while still hot in a one-stage stretch blow molding process.
  • a two-stage stretch blow molding process the preform is cooled and temporarily stored on a stretch blow molding device for spatially and/or temporally separate further processing.
  • the preform is then conditioned if necessary, that is, a temperature profile is impressed on the preform. It is then placed in a blow mold of a stretch blow molding device.
  • the preform is finally inflated according to the mold cavity using a gas blown in at excess pressure, usually air, and is additionally stretched axially with a stretching mandrel.
  • An injection blow molding process is also already known in which the stretch blow molding process takes place directly after the preform is injected.
  • the preform remains on the injection core, which also forms a kind of stretching mandrel.
  • the preform is in turn inflated by excess pressure according to the mold cavity of a blow mold, which is placed onto the injection core or vice versa, and is thereby stretched by the stretching mandrel.
  • the finished plastic container is then removed from the mold.
  • Stretch-blown or injection-blown plastic containers can be identified by the injection point originating from the preform, which is usually arranged in the area of the container bottom. At this injection point, the plastic material is only slightly or not at all stretched.
  • plastic containers that are made from stretched preforms
  • plastic containers that are formed from the unstretched preform itself. Examples of this are pressure containers for aerosols and similar filling products.
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • PET has been tried and tested, its chemical, physical and mechanical properties are well known, and it can be easily processed on known systems.
  • the recycling circuits that have been introduced and are constantly being expanded ensure that the majority of PET containers can be collected again after use and reprocessed.
  • plastic containers have also been made from polyethylene furanoate (PEF), which are characterized by their better barrier properties than PET. In terms of mechanical strength, plastic containers made of PET and PEF have very similar properties.
  • polyesters especially PET and PEF
  • alkalis the behavior of polyesters, especially PET and PEF, in conjunction with alkalis is not without problems.
  • Stress cracks in the plastic container can form points of attack for the lye, which can lead to degradation of the plastic over time.
  • a reaction between ester and lye can lead to saponification. This can lead to discoloration of the plastic container and ultimately even failure.
  • the unstretched areas of plastic containers, particularly the neck of a plastic container are particularly susceptible to such stress-induced problems.
  • stretch blowing a preform made of PET or PEF which is usually produced using an injection molding process
  • the neck of the preform is located outside the blow mold and is not stretched during the stretch blow molding process and therefore not strain-hardened.
  • Tensions in the neck of the plastic container can lead to microscopic cracks, which can enlarge when the container is cleaned with alkalis. This can lead to the neck of the plastic container leaking over time or no longer being able to withstand internal pressure in the plastic container, for example caused by carbonated drinks.
  • the tensions in the neck of the plastic container can be of various types. For example, these include thermal voltages that can occur due to the different expansions of the inner and outer walls of the neck of the container. Further stresses can be induced during the production of the plastic container from the preform through the blow nozzle and through the stretching mandrel with which the preform is axially stretched.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to remedy one or more disadvantages of the plastic containers of the prior art.
  • the prerequisites should be created for a refillable plastic container that allows a larger number of cleaning and refilling operations.
  • a refillable plastic container according to the invention in particular a refillable plastic container made of PET or PEF, has a neck with a neck opening and a container body enclosing a filling volume, which are separated from one another by a substantially radially projecting support ring.
  • the neck of the plastic container has an axial length, measured from an underside of the support ring to a mouth edge bordering the neck opening, which is equal to or less than 17.25 mm.
  • the neck between the underside of the support ring and the mouth edge bordering the neck opening has a minimum wall thickness that is not less than 1.9 mm.
  • the invention proposes optimizations of the neck of the plastic container in order to minimize the stresses that occur in the unstretched area of the container during production.
  • the neck By designing the neck with an overall shorter axial length compared to known necks of disposable containers made of PET or PEF, thermal stresses due to different contractions of the inner wall and outer wall of the neck can be reduced during production, for example in an injection molding process. Due to the overall thicker-walled design The neck also cools down more slowly and evenly during production, which can significantly reduce the formation of tension. Lower tensions during the production of the preform lead to a significantly smaller number of microscopic cracks in the neck of the plastic container. This enables a larger number of cycles of filling, cleaning and refilling of the plastic containers.
  • the neck can be designed with positive engagement elements, in particular threaded sections, which protrude as radial projections from an outer wall of the neck in a neck section which is located between the mouth edge and the support ring.
  • these projections extend over at least 85% of a circumference of the neck.
  • An associated closure cap can be designed, for example, as a twist lock or as a bayonet lock, which has essentially complementary engagement elements.
  • Such a closure cap is assembled by applying pressure and torque.
  • the positive engagement elements extend over at least 85% of the circumference of the neck.
  • closure caps In order to offer the user a visual guarantee of first opening, closure caps, especially screw caps, are provided with a tear-off guarantee band.
  • an abutment is formed on a section of the neck, which lies between an end of the positive engagement elements closer to the support ring and the support ring, which runs at least in some areas and projects essentially radially from the outer wall of the neck.
  • An area of the neck lying between the abutment and the support ring is usually used in the manufacture of the container for the attack of transport elements, such as transport tongs. In order to reduce the tension that occurs in the neck, it proves to be useful if this area has a minimum wall thickness that is not less than 1.9.
  • the neck has an inner wall designed as a conical sealing surface in an area located between the positive engagement elements and the support ring.
  • the sealing surface is thereby displaced axially away from the mouth edge towards the interior of the plastic container and is formed in an area of the neck which is designed with a greater wall thickness. In conjunction with a closure cap with a correspondingly extended sealing cone, this leads to a reduction in the tension in the container neck.
  • a further aspect of the invention therefore relates to a closure cap, in particular a closure cap for use with a plastic container as described here, which has a cover plate and a substantially cylindrical jacket formed thereon with positive engagement elements, in particular threaded elements, which have correspondingly designed positive engagement elements, in particular threaded sections, interact on the neck of the plastic container.
  • a ring-shaped spacer is arranged concentrically to the jacket and protrudes from the cover plate and a sealing lip is arranged at its free end.
  • the spacer and the sealing lip have a maximum axial extent that is equal to or greater than the height of the cylindrical jacket.
  • an inner diameter of the neck measured at the neck opening is smaller than 21.6 mm.
  • the inner diameter in the area of the neck opening is larger than the inner diameter of the neck in the area of the support ring. This also leads to a reduction in stresses during the production of the preform, particularly in the injection molding process.
  • the support ring on the neck of the plastic container has an outside diameter measured over its greatest radial extent that is equal to or smaller than 35 mm.
  • the design of the support ring with an axial thickness of 1.9 mm to 2.5 mm, measured at the transition to an outer wall of the neck also contributes to reducing the stresses.
  • the geometric optimization of the container neck to reduce the stresses that occur during production and assembly can also be supported in a further embodiment variant of the invention by adding suitable additives to the plastic material.
  • suitable additives from the group consisting of terephthalic acid (PTA), isophthalic acid (IPA), monoethylene glycol (MEG), diethylene glycol (DEG), isosorbitol, spiroglycol and naphthalene dicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester (NDC) proves to be expedient.
  • the refillable plastic container can be designed as a preform that is produced in an injection molding process or in an extrusion process.
  • the refillable plastic container is designed as a container which is manufactured in a blow molding process from a preform produced in an injection molding process or in an extrusion process. It is preferably designed as a stretch-blown container.
  • a further variant of the invention provides a refillable plastic container, the neck of which is designed for the assembly of a one-part or multi-part closure cap.
  • the closure cap can be designed as a screw cap or as a bayonet lock.
  • closures that are made from a plastic from the group consisting of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyamide (PA), their copolymers, and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) prove to be advantageous are. Pairing the PET container material with the listed closure materials can also help reduce the occurrence of stress in the neck of the plastic container.
  • a closure cap designed accordingly for use with a refillable plastic container designed according to the invention has a cover plate and a substantially cylindrical jacket formed thereon with positive engagement elements, in particular threaded elements, which interact with correspondingly designed positive engagement elements, in particular threaded sections, on the neck of the plastic container.
  • a ring-shaped spacer is arranged concentrically to the casing and projects from the cover plate.
  • a sealing lip is arranged at the free end of the spacer.
  • the spacer and the sealing lip have a maximum axial extent that is equal to or greater than a maximum distance of the positive engagement elements from the cover plate.
  • the closure cap is designed to cooperate with a conical sealing surface laid in the direction of the support ring into the interior of the neck of the refillable plastic container and therefore has a sealing lip arranged on a spacer.
  • the maximum axial extent of the spacer and the sealing lip can be in some embodiments The invention can even be greater than an axial length of the jacket of the closure cap.
  • the sealing lip is designed to be circumferential and has an approximately trumpet-shaped axial cross section.
  • the free end of the sealing lip which points outwards and in the direction of the cover plate of the closure cap, lies against the inner wall of the neck of the plastic container when the closure cap is in the assembled state.
  • the spring-loaded elasticity of the sealing lip ensures ventilation when the cap is screwed on and ensures a reliable seal when fully screwed on.
  • the sealing lip has a circumferential, approximately olive-shaped sealing bead at its free end, which extends in the direction of an inner wall of the jacket.
  • the sealing bead interacts in a sealing manner with a sealing cone in a thickened area of the neck of the plastic container that is displaced in the direction of the support ring.
  • the sealing lip is designed as a sealing lip that extends counter to the direction in which the spacer projects from the cover plate. When the closure cap is screwed onto the plastic container, this sealing lip is pulled over a corresponding sealing surface arranged inside the neck of the plastic container.
  • the closure cap can have one or more concentric sealing lips in an annular space delimited by the spacer and the jacket, which protrude from the cover plate and, in the assembled state, rest sealingly against the mouth edge bordering the neck opening.
