Description

本発明は、医療機器、各種精密機械部品、半導体製品、ガラス製品等からなる、様々な形状を有する被梱包体を搬送する際の梱包用部材に係り、詳しくは搬送する被梱包体と収納する搬送容器間に介在して、衝撃等の外力から被梱包体を保護するための緩衝材であって、とりわけその形状や寸法が定まらない各種製品や部品等からなる被梱包体を梱包して、異なる環境の中を長期間に亘って搬送する際に、好適に用いられる万能型空気緩衝材に関する。   The present invention relates to a packaging member for transporting a packaged body having various shapes, such as medical equipment, various precision machine parts, semiconductor products, glass products, and the like. It is a cushioning material for interposing between the transport containers and protecting the package body from external forces such as impacts, and packing the package body consisting of various products and parts whose shape and dimensions are not particularly determined, The present invention relates to a universal air cushioning material that is suitably used when transporting in different environments over a long period of time.

従来、定形の量販製品の梱包には、発泡スチロールの成形品が使用されているが、幅広い用途に向けたパッキング材または緩衝材としては新聞紙や布、チップ状の発泡スチロール、バブルフィルムなどが梱包品の形状に関係なく使用できるために重宝されていた。   Conventionally, foamed polystyrene products are used for packing regular-sized mass-produced products. However, as packing materials or cushioning materials for a wide range of applications, newspapers, cloth, chip-like foamed polystyrene, bubble film, etc. It was useful because it could be used regardless of shape.

しかしながら上記の各緩衝部材において、例えば発泡スチロールの成形品は個々の製品に対応して専用のものが使用されるため、使用後は廃棄処分する以外、他に用途変換が望めず、また、汎用性において優れるチップ状の発泡スチロール、バブルシート(エアーキャップ)および新聞紙や布等においても、最終的に廃棄物として処理する際には相当の物量になり、近年の地球環境保護や省エネルギーの観点からは、安易に看過できない問題となっている。   However, in each of the above-mentioned cushioning members, for example, a molded product of polystyrene foam is used corresponding to each product. Therefore, after use, it is not possible to change applications other than disposal, and versatility. Even in chip-like foam polystyrene, bubble sheets (air caps) and newspapers and cloths that are excellent in the case of final disposal as waste, it becomes a considerable amount, from the viewpoint of global environmental protection and energy saving in recent years, It is a problem that cannot be overlooked easily.

そこで最近になって、2枚合わせにした合成樹脂フィルムの外縁部を熱シールして袋状とし、その一端に特殊な逆止弁機能を有する空気注入口を設けた袋状空気緩衝材(例えば、特許文献1参照)や、前記袋状緩衝材の内側に線状若しくは点状の溶着線を設け、複数の小気室からなるエアーマット状緩衝材(例えば、特許文献2参照)が開発され、3Kpa/cm〜5Kpa/cmの空気圧力を封入した薄膜合成樹脂製の袋状空気緩衝材として、既に広く用いられている。この袋状空気緩衝材は梱包材としての汎用性を維持しつつ各種部品や製品の保護包装用、雑貨品の隙間充填材や資材の緩衝材として優れた特性を有し、また、その使用法が簡単であると共に、不使用時にはシート状に折り畳まれ、収納スペースもコンパクトとなり、廃棄処理も容易で簡便性にも優れている。 Therefore, recently, a bag-like air cushioning material (for example, a bag-like air cushioning material provided with an air inlet having a special check valve function at one end thereof is formed into a bag-like shape by heat-sealing the outer edges of the two synthetic resin films. ), And an air mat-like cushioning material (for example, see Patent Literature 2) comprising a plurality of small air chambers provided with a linear or dotted welding wire inside the bag-like cushioning material. Already widely used as a bag-like air cushioning material made of a thin film synthetic resin in which an air pressure of 3 Kpa / cm 2 to 5 Kpa / cm 2 is enclosed. This bag-like air cushioning material has excellent properties as a protective packaging for various parts and products while maintaining versatility as a packaging material, as a gap filling material for general goods, and as a cushioning material for materials. In addition, it is folded into a sheet shape when not in use, the storage space is compact, the disposal process is easy, and the convenience is excellent.

ところが上記合成樹脂製袋状空気緩衝材は、様々な形状を有する多品種の部品や製品からなる貨物に対応する、チップ状の発泡スチロールやバブルシートの代用としては、上記のように優れた特性を有するが、外形が方形若しくは多角形で特定の厚みを有する精密部品、衝撃に弱いガラス製品、或いは傷つき易い円筒状若しくは円柱状貨物等を安定的に梱包し、搬送容器等に収納して過酷な条件下で輸送する際には、その信頼性に若干の不安が残り、それを払拭するために必要以上に多量の袋状空気緩衝材を用いることとなり、それに起因して搬送容器の大型化を招いたり、また、該袋状空気緩衝材は搬送する製品などと包装容器間の様々の間隙を補うために、個々にはコンパクトであることが望ましく、且つ封入するエアーも比較的低い圧力であることが要求されていた。従って気温の変化が激しい地域、例えば寒冷地における長時間の輸送や保管に際しては、該袋状空気緩衝材の空気圧が減少したり、逆に高温地帯においては該袋状空気緩衝材が破裂して、緩衝材として機能をしなくなったりするなど、新たな問題が生じていた。   However, the synthetic resin bag-like air cushioning material has excellent characteristics as described above as a substitute for chip-shaped foamed polystyrene and bubble sheets for cargoes consisting of various types of parts and products having various shapes. However, it is difficult to stably package precision parts with a specific shape with a square or polygonal outer shape, glass products that are vulnerable to impact, or easily damaged cylindrical or columnar cargo, etc. When transporting under conditions, there is some concern about its reliability, and in order to wipe it off, a larger amount of bag-like air cushioning material will be used, resulting in an increase in the size of the transport container. In order to compensate for various gaps between the product to be transported and the packaging container, the bag-like air cushioning material is desirably individually compact, and the air to be sealed is also at a relatively low pressure. It has been requested is. Therefore, when transporting and storing for a long time in an area where the temperature changes drastically, for example, in a cold region, the air pressure of the bag-like air cushioning material decreases, or conversely, the bag-like air cushioning material bursts in a high-temperature zone. New problems have arisen, such as the loss of function as a cushioning material.

そこで近時、精密部品等の貨物を空気緩衝材でそっくり包み込むようにして、搬送容器との間に介在し、安定的な緩衝機能を発揮する空気緩衝材も多々提案されている。
一例をあげると横方向に連なる複数の長尺状空気室を有する合成樹脂製空気緩衝材の、該長尺状空気室を筒状に折り曲げると共に、その部分溶着部を折り曲げることにより、終局的には被梱包体全体を該空気室で覆う空気緩衝材(例えば、特許文献3参照)や、左右方向に連続した小胞という空気室が設けられ、空気が充填された際に該空気室の中間部分と両端部部との境目に段差が形成される巻き付け型の空気緩衝材(例えば、特許文献4参照)が提案され、前者においては被梱包物を当該緩衝材によってそっくり包み込み、後者においてはその段差部によって被梱包物の周辺を支えながら包みこんだり、場合によっては左右から挟持する方式の空気緩衝材が提案されている。

Therefore, recently, many air cushioning materials have been proposed in which cargo such as precision parts is completely wrapped with an air cushioning material and interposed between the transport containers and exhibit a stable cushioning function.
As an example, a synthetic resin air cushioning material having a plurality of elongated air chambers extending in the lateral direction is folded by folding the elongated air chamber into a cylindrical shape and its partial welded portion. Is provided with an air cushioning material (see, for example, Patent Document 3) that covers the entire packaged body with the air chamber, and an air chamber called a vesicle that is continuous in the left-right direction. A wound-type air cushioning material (see, for example, Patent Document 4) in which a step is formed at the boundary between the portion and both end portions has been proposed. In the former, the packaged material is completely wrapped by the cushioning material, and in the latter, There has been proposed an air cushioning material that wraps while supporting the periphery of an object to be packed by a stepped portion, or is sandwiched from the left and right in some cases.

通常、各種製品等を船舶や飛行機によって長時間輸送する際は、コンテナーによって運搬されるが、このコンテナー内における荷崩れは、外見上では発見されないために大きな事故を惹起する惧れも懸念されるところから、その梱包には充分な配慮が求められ、とりわけその信頼性が重視される。そこで空気緩衝材としての上記の改良に止まらず、荷崩れ防止用の空気緩衝材は、外袋と内袋とからなる2重構造のものが用いられ、例えば外袋に未晒しのクラフト紙、内袋にPE袋を用いたものや、外袋に未晒しのクラフト紙を3重にして用い、内袋をPE袋としたり、或いはPA/PE/PAのラミネートを施したものを用い、いずれの場合もピロー状に形成した空気緩衝材広くが用いられている。   Usually, when various products are transported by ship or airplane for a long time, they are transported by a container. However, the collapse of cargo in this container is not detected on the appearance, so there is a concern that it may cause a serious accident. Therefore, sufficient consideration is required for the packaging, and in particular, its reliability is emphasized. Therefore, the air cushioning material for preventing the collapse of the load is not limited to the above improvement as an air cushioning material, and a double structure composed of an outer bag and an inner bag is used. For example, unexposed kraft paper, Using PE bags for the inner bag, using kraft paper unexposed to the outer bag in triplicate, using the inner bag as a PE bag, or using a laminate of PA / PE / PA, Also in this case, a wide range of air cushioning material formed in a pillow shape is used.

このピロー状空気緩衝材によって例えば段ボール箱に包装された製品やオートバイを梱包して輸送する場合、空気緩衝材の中央部に応力が集中して凸状となることがある。空気緩衝材が凸状に変形することによって、製品などの貨物に損傷を招くことが懸念されるため、コンテナーの内壁と貨物との間にさらに強化ダンボールなどを介在させ、それによって貨物とコンテナーとの接触による損傷を未然に防止するよう配慮されているが、用いられる強化ダンボールは高価なものであり、それを含む所謂シュワリングコストの高騰を招き、早急に解決を望まれる課題であった。その上、使用済み包装容器などはゴミ問題として世界的に注目を集めているが、多品種の素材を組み合わせて用いる前記空気緩衝材は、リサイクルや焼却処分の上からも望ましくなく、単一素材によって形成される空気緩衝材が斯界の強い要望であった。   When a product or a motorcycle packaged in, for example, a cardboard box is packed and transported by this pillow-like air cushioning material, stress may concentrate on the central portion of the air cushioning material to form a convex shape. Since there is a concern that the air cushioning material may be deformed in a convex shape, it may cause damage to cargo such as products.Therefore, reinforced cardboard or the like is further interposed between the inner wall of the container and the cargo so that the cargo and the container However, the reinforced corrugated cardboard used is expensive, and so-called Schwaling costs including it are soaring, which is a problem that is desired to be solved immediately. In addition, although used packaging containers are attracting worldwide attention as a waste problem, the air cushioning material used in combination with a wide variety of materials is not desirable from the viewpoint of recycling or incineration. The air cushion formed by is a strong demand in the field.

本発明は斯かる従来技術に残された課題を解決するため、上記従来技術に更なる改良を加え、コンパクトな構造であるにも拘らず多様な被梱包体に対応可能な空気緩衝材、具体的には単一の素材を用いて空気緩衝材を形成することによって、様々な寸法や形状を有する製品や部品からなる貨物を梱包してコンテナー内に収納し、過酷な条件の中でも安定的に輸送することが可能な万能型の空気緩衝部材を提供することを目的とするものである。   In order to solve the problems remaining in the prior art, the present invention adds further improvements to the above prior art, and provides an air cushioning material that can be used for various packages in spite of its compact structure. In fact, by using a single material to form an air cushioning material, cargo consisting of products and parts with various dimensions and shapes can be packed and stored in a container for stable use even under harsh conditions. An object of the present invention is to provide a universal air cushioning member that can be transported.

上記課題を解決するための本発明による空気緩衝部材は、梱包する被梱包体と搬送容器の内壁との間に介在して、衝撃などの外力から該被梱包体を保護するための空気緩衝材において、2枚合わせにした同一の素材からなる方形の合成樹脂フィルムの、上下並びに左右の外枠の端部を形成する側縁部を熱溶着すると共に、該側縁部間において、その中間部を被梱包体の寸法形状に対応して任意に熱溶着することにより、複数に区切った辺縁部が設けられ、該辺縁部の側縁部近傍の任意箇所に、被梱包体の寸法形状に対応して左右対称に少なくとも一対の切欠き部を設け、さらに該辺縁部には少なくとも1つの空気流通口を設けて相互に連通した複数の空気室を形成し、該空気室と被梱包体若しくは搬送容器内壁との接触面積を、任意に変更することを可能とし、且つ、該空気室の少なくとも一つに空気注入口を設け、該空気注入口より空気を注入して空気室全体を膨張させ、その内側を被梱包体に、その外側を搬送容器の内壁に圧接せしめることを特徴的構成要件とする万能型空気緩衝材を要旨とするものである。   An air cushioning member according to the present invention for solving the above problems is provided between an object to be packed and an inner wall of a transport container, and protects the object from an external force such as an impact. The side edges forming the ends of the upper and lower and left and right outer frames of the rectangular synthetic resin film made of the same material, and the intermediate portion between the side edges.

また、本発明による前記万能型空気緩衝材において、空気室の少なくとも一つに設けられる空気注入口に、逆止弁を用いることを特徴とするものである。   In the universal air cushioning material according to the present invention, a check valve is used for an air inlet provided in at least one of the air chambers.

さらに本発明は、前記万能型空気緩衝材において、素材を構成する前記合成樹脂フィルムに、帯電防止剤を混入させてなることを好ましい態様とするものである。   Furthermore, the present invention provides a preferred embodiment in which the antistatic agent is mixed into the synthetic resin film constituting the material in the universal air cushioning material.

本発明による万能型型空気緩衝材は、被梱包体である各種製品や部品等の貨物(以下単に「貨物」と言うことがある。)の形状や寸法を重視して、それに合せて緩衝材そのものを形成することが最大の特徴である。即ち、2枚合わせにした同一の素材からなる方形の合成樹脂フィルムの、上下並びに左右の外枠の端部を形成する側縁部を熱溶着すると共に、該側縁部間において、その中間部を被梱包体の寸法形状に対応して任意に熱溶着することにより、複数に区切った辺縁部が設けられ、該辺縁部の側縁部近傍の任意箇所に、被梱包体の寸法形状に対応して左右対称に少なくとも一対の切欠き部を設け、さらに該辺縁部には少なくとも1つの空気流通口を設けて相互に連通した複数の空気室を形成し、該空気室と被梱包体若しくは搬送容器内壁との接触面積を、任意に変更することを可能とし、且つ、該空気室の少なくとも一つに空気注入口を設け、該空気注入口より空気を注入して空気室全体を膨張させ、その内側を被梱包体に、その外側を搬送容器の内壁に圧接せしめることを必須の構成要件とする万能型空気緩衝材が提供される。   The all-purpose type air cushioning material according to the present invention attaches importance to the shape and dimensions of cargo (hereinafter, simply referred to as “cargo”) such as various products and parts, which are packaged bodies, and the cushioning material accordingly. The biggest feature is that it forms itself. That is, the side edges that form the ends of the upper and lower and left and right outer frames of the rectangular synthetic resin film made of the same material that are joined together are thermally welded, and the middle portion between the side edges. By arbitrarily heat-sealing in accordance with the dimensional shape of the packaged body, a plurality of divided edge portions are provided, and the dimensional shape of the packaged body is provided at an arbitrary location near the side edge portion of the edge portion. And at least a pair of notches are provided symmetrically to each other, and at least one air circulation port is provided at the edge to form a plurality of air chambers communicating with each other. The area of contact with the body or the inner wall of the transport container can be arbitrarily changed, and at least one of the air chambers is provided with an air inlet, and air is injected from the air inlet to Inflate, the inside to the package, the outside to the transport container Universal air cushioning material to essential element that allowed to press the inner wall is provided.

本発明による万能型空気緩衝材は、上記の如くして空気室が設けられることによって、梱包する貨物や搬送容器(コンテナー等)内壁と、該空気室との接触面積を任意にコントロールすることが可能となる。従って該空気室の少なくとも1つに設けられた空気の注入口より空気を注入して、該空気室を膨張させて、その内側を貨物に、その外側を搬送容器の内壁に圧接して緩衝材として機能する際、相互に広い接触面積を得ることが可能となるため、応力の集中が未然に回避され、安定的な緩衝機能が確保される。従って、気温や気圧の変化にも柔軟に対応することが可能なまでに、内圧を高めて置くことが可能となり、過酷な条件下における緩衝材としての機能を長時間に亘って維持することが可能となった。   The universal air cushioning material according to the present invention can arbitrarily control the contact area between the air chamber and the inner wall of the cargo or transport container (container or the like) to be packed by providing the air chamber as described above. It becomes possible. Accordingly, air is injected from an air inlet provided in at least one of the air chambers, the air chamber is expanded, the inside is pressed against the cargo, and the outside is pressed against the inner wall of the transfer container, so that the cushioning material Since it is possible to obtain a large contact area with each other, stress concentration is avoided in advance and a stable buffer function is ensured. Therefore, it is possible to increase the internal pressure before it can flexibly cope with changes in temperature and pressure, and to maintain the function as a buffer material under severe conditions for a long time. It has become possible.

また、本発明による上記緩衝材は、梱包する貨物の形状に即して、例えばその側面の任意箇所に左右対称に少なくとも一対の切欠き部を設けることにより、該切欠き部の切欠き残部同士をそれぞれ熱溶着することによって、略コの字型の緩衝材を形成して角型の貨物のコーナーを、前記従来技術における二つの空気緩衝材を用いて単に挟持するに止どまらず、強固に把持するようにして保護したり、加えて上下対象の側縁部を熱溶着することによって有底の円筒状緩衝材を形成して、例えばビン類を収納したり、該切欠き残部の熱溶着をせず、単に上下対象の側縁部を熱溶着若しくは縫合することによって円筒状緩衝材を形成して、円筒状や円柱状若しくは円形の貨物などを保護することも可能である。   In addition, the cushioning material according to the present invention is provided in accordance with the shape of the cargo to be packed, for example, by providing at least a pair of notch portions symmetrically in any place on the side surface thereof, so that the notch remaining portions of the notch portions By thermally welding each, a substantially U-shaped cushioning material is formed, and the corner of the rectangular cargo is not simply clamped using the two air cushioning materials in the prior art, It protects by firmly grasping, and additionally forms a bottomed cylindrical cushioning material by thermally welding the side edges of the upper and lower objects, for example, to store bottles, It is also possible to protect a cylindrical, columnar, or circular cargo by forming a cylindrical cushioning material simply by thermally welding or stitching the side edges of the upper and lower objects without performing thermal welding.

このように本発明による空気緩衝材は基本的には簡略な構造であるにも拘らず、合成樹脂フィルムの大きさを任意に変更したり、辺縁部や切欠き部を任意に増減させることにより、熱溶着(若しくは縫合)する部分や位置を梱包する貨物の形態や寸法に応じて任意に変更し得るため、文字通り多様な被梱包体に容易に対応し得る万能型の空気緩衝材が提供される。また、該空気緩衝材は梱包容器との間においてそれぞれの要部を側面や上下から把持するようにしてパッキングし、該貨物と梱包容器間に一定の空隙を設けるように介在するため、気温や気圧の変化により空気室の圧力が減少してその緩衝効果が僅かな状態となっても、依然として貨物を衝撃から保護することができる。   As described above, although the air cushioning material according to the present invention is basically a simple structure, the size of the synthetic resin film can be arbitrarily changed, and the edge and notch can be arbitrarily increased or decreased.

In addition, the air cushioning material is packed so as to grip each essential part from the side and top and bottom with the packing container, and is interposed so as to provide a certain gap between the cargo and the packing container. Even if the pressure of the air chamber decreases due to a change in atmospheric pressure and the buffering effect becomes slight, the cargo can still be protected from impact.

本発明による上記万能型緩衝材はさらに、同一の素材、具体的にはPE/PEクロス/PE若しくはPP/PPクロス/PPからなるフィルムを2枚合わせとして用いることにより、その任意箇所を自由に熱溶着ができるために、上記のような加工を可能としたものであり、また、同一の素材であるが故に補修などのメンテナンスが容易で、使用後はリサイクルして有効に活用することが期待されると共に、被梱包体をそっくり包み込むような従来型の空気緩衝材と異なり、要部のみを保護する本発明の万能型空気緩衝材は、その本体そのものが極めてコンパクトであるために、未使用時の保管や輸送に係るコストも低減され、止むを得ず焼却処分する際においても有害物質の発生する惧れも無く、資源の有効利用は勿論のこと、環境保護の面においてもが充分な配慮がなされている。   The universal cushioning material according to the present invention is further free of any part by using two films of the same material, specifically, PE / PE cloth / PE or PP / PP cloth / PP. Since it can be heat-welded, it can be processed as described above, and since it is the same material, maintenance such as repair is easy, and it is expected to be recycled and used effectively after use. Unlike the conventional air cushioning material that wraps the packaged body completely, the universal air cushioning material of the present invention that protects only the main part is not used because the main body itself is extremely compact. Costs related to storage and transportation at the time are also reduced, and there is no risk of generating harmful substances when incineration is unavoidable. Also has sufficient consideration is made in.
