Description

  In the present invention, a blank formed by punching a sheet-like material is assembled into a box, and an intermediate product of a plurality of containers is stored inside the box, and the intermediate product of the container is filled with contents in a subsequent process. The present invention relates to a packaging box assembly method.

  For example, when a beverage such as beer is filled in a container such as a can or barrel, the container manufacturing factory made of aluminum or the like is separated from the brewery factory for beer, so the container is transported to the brewery factory. Will do. Since containers can be stored, it is often thought that they should be stored in a beer factory warehouse. However, this also requires storage, entry and exit, and problems such as dirt and damage also occur. In order to meet the demands of brewing factories, a system for carrying containers is used. The system as described above is effective for products such as beer that have a high need for promptly shipping fresh beer so as not to lose freshness. In this case, containers such as cans and barrels are brought into a brewery factory in a semi-finished product that is not covered and packaged at the same time as filling with beer, etc. It is a normal form that is stored in advance in the packaging box.

  Therefore, in a conventional beer factory, as shown in FIG. 8, a box making machine for assembling a semi-finished product of a cardboard packaging box into a box is installed in the line. In most cases, a plurality of cans and barrels are packed in a packaging box, so it is necessary to put a partition placed between them. For this reason, a device called an intermediate divider is installed in a conventional line. It was necessary to place it after the machine. That is, a corrugated packaging box is assembled by an automatic machine called a box making machine, and then a partition is assembled by an automatic machine called a middle partitioning machine and inserted into the packaging box. Accordingly, it is necessary to operate two automatic machines for assembling the packaging box, and simplification of equipment in a limited line has been demanded.

  As a conventional boxing technique, there is, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-138871 as an apparatus for assembling a corrugated cardboard box, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-8399 as an example related to insertion of a partition. However, these do not seem to give good results when applied for the above purposes.

2005-138871 2005-8399

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the above points, and the problem is that the two-step work of the box making machine and the partitioning machine as seen in the beer brewery factory can be performed in one step. That is. Moreover, the other subject of this invention is providing the assembly method of the packaging box which enables the operation | work of 2 processes of said box making machine and a partition machine in 1 process.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention assembles a blank formed by punching a sheet-like material into a box, and stores the intermediate product of a plurality of containers in the box, and the intermediate product of the container In the method of filling the contents in the process, inside the blank, the partition frame is assembled in an intersecting state, and when the blank assembled with the partition frame is assembled into a box using a box making machine, The partition frame is widened to take a means to form a plurality of sections.

  At the stage to which the present invention is applied, the container to be stored is in the state of an intermediate product not filled with contents, so that the packaging box assembled by the method according to the present invention is also in a semi-finished state where the box is not closed Becomes the final form. In the process step to which the present invention is applied, the blank formed by punching the sheet-like material is bent and the necessary parts are in a connected state. To assemble.

  The blank is for assembling a hexahedral box. The four side surfaces forming the four circumferences of the box, the lower surface connected to the lower portion of the four side surfaces by a fold line, and the upper portion of the four side surfaces connected to each other by a fold line. It is desirable to have a structure comprising an upper surface. In this case, if the four side surfaces forming the four circumferences of the box are all the same length, they become a packaging box having a square planar shape, and if the opposite two side surfaces are the same length, they have a rectangular planar shape.

  Inside the blank, the partition frame is assembled and placed in an intersecting state, and when the blank assembled with the partition frame is assembled into a box using a box making machine, the internal partition frame expands, and multiple compartments are formed. To be formed. This requirement is a condition required in the process step to which the present invention is applied. Since the partition frame divides the inside of the packaging box into a plurality of sections, it has a shorter dimension than the four side surfaces forming the four circumferences of the box, and is arranged so as to be substantially parallel to the four side surfaces. It is attached to the inner surface of the box on one side.

  Since the partition frame is attached to the inside of the blank in an intersecting state, the inner partition frame is expanded at the same time as it is assembled into a box to form a predetermined partition. The partition frame is attached to the inner surface of the box by providing a bent portion corresponding to a so-called glue margin on one side of the partition frame, but the folding angle formed by the folded portion corresponding to the glue margin and the partition frame portion is When it is almost 180 degrees before it is assembled into a box and is almost 90 degrees when assembled into a box and becomes a partition frame, it can be folded and expanded without difficulty.

  In the case of the present invention, the partition frame is composed of two or more sheets with one end attached to the two side surfaces adjacent to each other on the four side surfaces, and the other end is free without being fixed anywhere, and two or more sheets. By intersecting at the equally divided position of the partition frame, it can be configured to expand at right angles with the intersecting portion as a fulcrum and to form four or more sections almost simultaneously with assembling the blank into the box. . In the smallest packaging box obtained by this configuration, the two vertical and horizontal partition frames are expanded to form a total of four sections. However, it goes without saying that the number of partitions can be increased or decreased as necessary.

  As a blank applied to the present invention, a blank formed of corrugated paper is used and assembled into a box using the four side surfaces and the lower surface of the blank, and a plurality of containers are placed inside the box. The intermediate product is accommodated, and in this state, the intermediate product in the container can be transported to the step of filling the contents. In the case where the present invention is applied to beer, corrugated paper absorbs shocks well and is therefore a typical sheet-like material.

  Since the present invention is configured and operates as described above, when a blank having a partition frame assembled in an intersecting state is assembled into a box using a box making machine, the internal partition frame is automatically Since it expands and a plurality of sections are formed, it is possible to perform the two-step work of a box making machine and a partitioning machine as seen in a brewery factory in one step. Moreover, according to this invention, there exists an effect that the assembly method of a packaging box which enables the operation | work of 2 steps | paragraphs of said box making machine and a partition machine in 1 process can be provided.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments. FIG. 1 is an example 1 of a packaging box used directly for carrying out the packaging box assembling method according to the present invention.

Structure of packaging box The packaging box 10 of Example 1 is an assembly of blanks 11 formed by punching the sheet-like material shown in FIG. 2 into a box, and the intermediate products 12 of a plurality of containers are stored inside the box. is there. The illustrated blank 11 is for assembling a hexahedral box formed by punching a sheet-like material 13 made of corrugated paper, and includes four side surfaces 14, 15, 16, 17 and 4 forming four rounds of the box. It has a structure comprising lower surfaces 18, 19, 20, 21 connected to each other at the lower part of the side surface by a fold line, and upper surfaces 22, 23, 24, 25 connected to each other at the upper part of the four side surfaces by a fold line. The side surfaces 14 and 17 are connected to the box making machine from the previous step in a state where the side surfaces 14 and 17 are connected by the adhesive margin portion 26. The four side surfaces 14 to 17 forming the four circumferences of the box of Example 1 are all equal in length. See FIG.

  Inside the packaging box 10, a plurality of partition frames 27 are assembled in an intersecting state. The illustrated partition frame is composed of two pieces 27 and 28 with one ends 27a and 28a attached at equal positions of the two side surfaces 15 and 16 adjacent to the four side surfaces 14 to 17, and the other ends 27b and 28b are located anywhere. It is free without being fixed, and has a configuration in which the vertical cuts provided at the equally divided positions 27c and 28c of the two partition frames are engaged and intersected. For this reason, both the partition frames 27 and 28 can be opened and closed at the intersection. See FIG.

Assembling method of packaging box The line for assembling such a packaging box 10 is obtained by removing the partitioning machine from the conventional line configuration shown in FIG. 8, but the box making machine may be a conventional one. The blank 11 is made flat by connecting the side surfaces 14 and 17 at both ends by the glue margin part 26 and flattened, and as described above, the bent portions 27a and 28a corresponding to the glue margin and the partition frames 27 and 28 are formed. In the state shown in FIG. 3 in which the bending angle is almost 180 degrees, it is carried from the previous process and supplied to the box making machine. In the box making machine, the blank in the state shown in FIG. 3 is opened and formed into a three-dimensional shape as shown in FIG. 4, and the lower surfaces 18, 19, 20, and 21 are folded inwardly by folding lines. . As a result, the packaging box 10 is three-dimensionalized, and at the same time, the two inner partition frames 27 and 28 spread in an orthogonal shape with the intersection as a fulcrum, and four sections 29, 30, 31, and 32 are formed. Is done. See FIG.

  This completes the packaging box 10 as a semi-finished state in which the final box is not closed. See FIG. The intermediate products 12 of the containers are stored in the four sections 29 to 32 of the packaging box, and the intermediate products 12 of these containers are filled with contents in a subsequent process. At that time, the intermediate product 12 of the container is once taken out of the packaging box, printed with a printing machine, for example, a brewery factory or a shelf life, or washed with a washing machine and filled with beer with a filling machine. It will be sealed. Thus, the product beer is then stored in a packaging box, at which stage the box is finally closed.

  In the above description, only the method of assembling a packaging box in which four compartments are formed by two partition frames has been mentioned, but the assembly method does not change at all even if the number of compartments is increased. For example, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 show two adjacent side surfaces of the four side surfaces 14, 15 ′, 16, and 17 ′ as shown in a packaging box 10 ′ in which six sections are formed by three partition frames. Consists of two partition frames 27, 27 'and one long partition frame 28' with one end attached to the three and two equal positions, and the other end is free without being fixed anywhere And at the same time as assembling the blank 11 ′ into a box by intersecting at the half-divided position of two partition frames and at the half-divided position of one partition frame It can be implemented by a configuration in which the section 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 is formed in a wide area. In addition, although the packaging box 10 'shown in FIG. 6, FIG. 7 uses a code | symbol about the structure which is common in Example 1, and abbreviate | omits detailed description, it becomes Example 2 of this invention.

  The present invention has the contents as described above, and it is easy to supply a blank with a partition frame assembled in a cross shape to a can making machine and assemble it into a semi-finished packaging box. It is ideal for the process of storing intermediate products in multiple containers such as barrels and transporting them to a brewery. In the beer factory, the intermediate product of the container can be taken out from the semi-finished packaging box, printed, washed, filled, etc., and returned to the semi-finished packaging box for box making. In addition, the internal partition frame does not come out when the intermediate product of the container is put in and out, and the inside of the packaging box is always partitioned at a fixed position, and the compartment for storing cans and barrels has a fixed size. Therefore, there is also an advantage that cans and barrels can be easily put.
