2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a beverage can such as beer or juice, as shown in FIG. 3, a can lid 3 is seamed at an opening end of a cylindrical can body 1 integrally having a can bottom 2. A closed two-piece aluminum alloy can is used. The can lid 3 is also various, but the main one is an easy-open can lid, that is, an easy-open can lid that can be easily opened by attaching a pull tab or the like. The easy-opening can lid is roughly classified into two types: a type that removes an opening piece that forms an opening by pulling up a pull tab, and a push-open type that pushes the opening piece into the container and the tab cannot be removed from the can lid. In recent years, the push-open type has become the majority.

An annular convex portion (rim) 12 projecting in the axial direction of the can is formed, and thereby the pressure resistance of the can bottom 2 is increased. This annular convex portion 12 serves as a leg that is not only for simply improving the bottom strength of the can, but also serves as a leg that contacts the ground when the can body 1 is erected.
It also plays a role in improving the upright stability and support strength of the.

By the way, in the case of an alcoholic beverage such as beer or a beverage can filled with a juice having a high sugar content, if the content is frozen and stored, the content starts to freeze from the outer peripheral side and finally the central portion freezes. Then, a thrusting force due to freezing acts in the axial direction of the can. In the conventional beverage can, the can bottom 2 is set to have a higher pressure resistance than the can lid 3. Therefore, when a thrust force acts from the inside of the can due to the freezing of the contents, as shown in FIG. When the lid 3 is pushed upward, the outer peripheral groove 6 of the can lid 3 partially swells to the outside and the convex portion 1 is formed.

Since the pressure resistance of the can bottom is made lower than the pressure resistance of the can lid, when the contents freeze, the can bottom can be deformed first and the score of the can lid can be broken. Can be prevented. In this case, it is preferable to set the pressure resistance of the can bottom lower than the pressure resistance of the can lid by 60 kpa or more, because the can bottom can be surely deformed before the can lid. That is, (can lid strength) − (can bottom strength) ≧ 60 kpa. However, it is preferable that the pressure is set at least 20 kpa higher than the maximum ultimate pressure of the can in the content filling equipment (Claim 2).

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the beverage can of this embodiment is made of an aluminum alloy 2 in which a can lid 3 is seamed at an open end of a cylindrical can body 1 integrally having a can bottom 2 to form a closed state. By setting the pressure resistance of the can bottom 2 to be 60 kPa or more lower than the pressure resistance of the can lid 3, when the contents are frozen, the can bottom 2 is positioned earlier than the can lid 3 as shown in FIG. It is deformed as shown by the two-dot chain line, and the expansion of the content due to freezing can be substantially absorbed by the deformation of the can bottom 2.

However, in order to maintain proper pressure resistance performance, the pressure resistance of the can bottom 2 is set to be 20 kpa or more higher than the maximum ultimate pressure of the internal pressure of the can in the content filling equipment in view of safety. For example, when the maximum internal pressure of the can in the content filling facility is 600 kpa, the pressure resistance of the can bottom 2 is set to (600 + 20) kpa or more. That is,
The pressure resistance of the can bottom 2 and the can lid 3 is set so as to satisfy the following relationships (a) and (b). (A) 600 kpa + 20 kpa ≦ pressure resistance of can bottom (b) pressure resistance of can bottom + 60 kpa ≦ pressure resistance of can lid

Further, the content (liquid) upon freezing is 9%
Assuming that the space expands, the space capacity is required to be 10% with a margin. Since the space capacity (head space) in a normal state is usually about 7%, if the capacity expanded by deformation during freezing is 3% or more, it is possible to reliably prevent the can from cracking. Therefore, the method of deformation during freezing is predicted so that the combined capacity of the capacity expanded by deformation during freezing and the initial space capacity (head space) is 10% or more of the filling capacity of the contents. And the expected deformation amount is set. In other words, how the bottom 2 deforms during freezing can be predicted to some extent, and the shape of the bottom 2 is set so that the expansion of the contents can be reliably absorbed when the predicted deformation occurs. Have been.

The combination of experiments was NO. 1 to NO. The experiment was conducted on 100 cans, each having 9 different types of pressure strength of the can lid and the can bottom. Here, the pressure resistance is a value obtained by measuring the pressure until the can lid and the can bottom are deformed when the compressed air is filled in the can, and the unit is kpa. The pressure resistance of the can lid is 510 kpa, 650
kpa and 720 kpa were set, and the pressure resistance of the can bottom was set so that the difference from the pressure resistance of the can lid changed stepwise. Thereby, the value obtained by subtracting the pressure resistance of the can bottom from the pressure resistance of the can lid is set in a stepwise manner between -230 and 120. The determination of the appropriateness of freezing was made as acceptable (() when the mixing ratio of the can lid was deformed and the mixing ratio was 0%, and as unacceptable (X) when not.

As a result of the experiment, as shown in FIG. 2, as the value obtained by subtracting the pressure resistance of the can bottom from the can lid becomes negative to positive, that is, from the combination in which the pressure resistance of the can bottom is lower than that of the can lid, As the combination of the can bottom with higher pressure strength than the can lid becomes lower, the mixing ratio of the can lid deformation decreases.
The value obtained by subtracting the pressure resistance of the can bottom from the can lid is + 60k.
When the pressure became equal to or more than pa, the mixing ratio of the deformation of the can lid became 0% for the first time. Accordingly, when the pressure resistance of the can lid is higher than the pressure resistance of the can bottom by 60 kpa or more, in other words, when the pressure resistance of the can bottom is lower than the pressure resistance of the can lid by 60 kpa or more (in the experimental example, 60 kpa, 100 kpa, 120 kPa).
Only in the case of kpa), it passed (o) in the determination of the appropriateness of freezing.

On the other hand, the maximum ultimate pressure of the internal pressure of the container in the beer filling equipment used in this test is 600 kpa, so that the pressure resistance of the can lid and the can bottom must be higher than the maximum ultimate pressure. Therefore, in the determination of the appropriate pressure resistance, the combination NO. 1 and combination NO. In the case of 2, the pressure resistance of the can lid did not satisfy the condition, so it was rejected (×)
And Similarly, the combination NO. In No. 9, although the pressure resistance of the bottom of the can was temporarily equal to or higher than the highest ultimate pressure of 600 kpa, safety must be considered in consideration of fluctuations during can-making and filling, so it was rejected (x). In this case, the safety zone is +20 kpa, that is, 600 + 20 = 620 kpa.
It can be said that the above is sufficient. Therefore, in the comprehensive judgment, the combination NO. 7 and NO. The two cases of No. 8 were passed (o).
