Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sealing device, a packing and filling apparatus, and a sealing method by which the remaining amount of content fluid can be reduced and inconvenience can be resolved by horizontal sealing. <P>SOLUTION: The sealing device horizontally seals a tubular laminated packing material that is filled with a content fluid and vertically lowered, beneath the liquid level in a transverse direction, and includes sealing jaws 10a having operation surfaces 10d and heating members 10c provided on the operation surface, and counter jaws 10b each having an opposite surface 10f and pressing a zone to be horizontally sealed. The tubular laminated packing material of an area where two horizontally sealed zones are to be formed is doglegged by a chevron surface formed of the operation surfaces 10d and their extended surfaces 10dd. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Description

本発明は、包装材料をシールする装置、ジュースや牛乳などの液体食品などを充填する包装容器用包装充填装置及び包装材料のシール方法に関する。 The present invention relates to an apparatus for sealing a packaging material, a packaging filling apparatus for a packaging container for filling liquid food such as juice and milk, and a sealing method for the packaging material.

牛乳、ジュース、ミネラルウォーターなどの飲料、流動食品などの常温保存可能な紙包装容器は、例えば、熱可塑性材料最外層、紙基材層、導電性バリア層(例えば、アルミ箔)、ヒートシール性最内層からなる包装積層材料から得られる。   Paper packaging containers that can be stored at room temperature, such as beverages such as milk, juice, mineral water, and liquid foods, are, for example, outermost layers of thermoplastic materials, paper base layers, conductive barrier layers (for example, aluminum foil), heat sealability It is obtained from a packaging laminate material consisting of the innermost layer.

図6に液体食品用紙包装容器の例を示す。
この液体食品用紙包装容器には、頂面61に開封部62を有する紙製包装容器と、液体食品を注ぎ出すための再封止可能な開封装置63を備える包装容器とがある。通常、開封装置はポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリスチレンなどのプラスチックから成形されている。
図6(A)、(B)の液体食品用紙包装容器の例では、紙容器14(図6(A))とプラスチック開封装置63をも備える容器1(図6(B))とがある。
プラスチック開封装置63を備える紙容器1は、頂面61に、開封装置取付前の紙製包装容器の斜視図をも示す図6(A)のように、開封部62を有する。開封部62は、容易に開封されるように、弱め線若しくはパンチ穴にフィルムが貼られたプリラミネートホール(PLH)からなる。開封装置63は、注出口とこれを覆う再封止可能なキャップと、開封部62の外周面と接合される下面が取付面のフランジとからなる。使用(開封)時には、開封装置63が開封部62を破断して開封する。
FIG. 6 shows an example of a liquid food paper packaging container.
This liquid food paper packaging container includes a paper packaging container having an opening 62 on the top surface 61 and a packaging container having a resealable opening device 63 for pouring out liquid food. Usually, the opening device is molded from plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene.
In the example of the liquid food paper packaging container of FIGS. 6A and 6B, there is a paper container 14 (FIG. 6A) and a container 1 (FIG. 6B) also including a plastic opening device 63.
The paper container 1 provided with the plastic opening device 63 has an opening portion 62 on the top surface 61 as shown in FIG. 6A which also shows a perspective view of the paper packaging container before the opening device is attached. The opening portion 62 is made of a pre-lamination hole (PLH) in which a film is attached to a weakening line or a punch hole so as to be easily opened. The unsealing device 63 includes a spout, a resealable cap that covers the spout, and a flange whose attachment surface is a lower surface joined to the outer peripheral surface of the unsealing portion 62. At the time of use (opening), the opening device 63 breaks and opens the opening part 62.

図3に、図6に示す包装容器を製造する装置の一例を示す。

In the filling machine shown in the example, a packaging material web 1 having a thermoplastic material layer on the inner and outer layers of a paper base material layer is unwound, and the inside of the filling machine is conveyed by a roller, and the sealing tape 2 is packaged. Via the applicator 3 joined to the material edge, the packaging material web is sterilized in the sterilant tank 4, the sterilant is removed by the air knife 5, enters the sterilization chamber 40, and is formed into a tube shape by the forming roller 6, Both ends of the packaging material are overlapped to form an overlap, and the overlap is sealed in the vertical direction of the tube by the vertical seal element 8 in the vertical direction, and the liquid food of the content liquid is filled into the tube from the filling pipe 7, While this tube is sent downward by a length corresponding to one packaging container under the liquid level, it is transversely sealed in the transverse direction by the sealing jaw and counter jaw of the transverse sealing device 10 and simultaneously Continuously molded into a pillow-shaped preform, and the middle of the seal band of the connected pillow-shaped preform 12 is cut by a cutting means such as a knife and separated into individual pillow-shaped preforms 13, and a final molding device 15. Then, the upper and lower flaps of the pillow-shaped preform are folded to form the final package filling container 14.

例えば、図4に示すように、紙基材層1a、導電性バリア層1b及びヒートシール性最内層1cからなるチューブ状包装積層材料1を横断方向に横シールするシール装置10がある。この装置では、チューブ内に内容液が充填され、このチューブを液面下で横シールする。この装置10は2本のシールジョー10aと2本のカウンタージョー10bにより材料1を挟んで、横シールする。シールジョー10aは、チューブ状包装積層材料の横シールすべき帯域と接触する作用面10dと、作用面に設けられた加熱部材10cと(例えば、ジュール熱発生電気抵抗部材、高周波誘導加熱用導電部材)を有する。カウンタージョー10bはチューブ状包装積層材料の横シールすべき帯域を介して作用面10dと対向する対向面10fを有し、横シールすべき帯域を押圧する。2本のカウンタージョー10bの間に、前進後退自在に配置され、2本のシールジョー10d、10dと2本のカウンタージョー10b、10bとにより形成された2本の横シール帯域の間を切断する切断手段のナイフ10hが設けられている。(特許文献1参照) For example, as shown in FIG. 4, there is a sealing device 10 that laterally seals a tubular packaging laminate material 1 composed of a paper base layer 1a, a conductive barrier layer 1b, and a heat-sealable innermost layer 1c in the transverse direction. In this apparatus, the content liquid is filled in the tube, and the tube is laterally sealed under the liquid level. In this device 10, a material 1 is sandwiched between two sealing jaws 10a and two counter jaws 10b, and laterally sealed. The seal jaw 10a includes a working surface 10d that contacts a zone to be laterally sealed of the tubular packaging laminate material, a heating member 10c provided on the working surface (for example, a Joule heat generating electric resistance member, a conductive member for high frequency induction heating) ). The counter jaw 10b has a facing surface 10f facing the working surface 10d through a zone to be laterally sealed of the tubular packaging laminate material, and presses the zone to be laterally sealed. It is arranged between the two counter jaws 10b so as to be able to move forward and backward, and cuts between two lateral sealing zones formed by the two sealing jaws 10d and 10d and the two counter jaws 10b and 10b. A knife 10h for cutting means is provided. (See Patent Document 1)

チューブ内に内容液が充填され、このチューブを液面下で横シールするため、2対のシールジョー10d及びカウンタージョー10bとの間に、内容液が残留することがある。
残留物により、容器のフラップやフィンなどに付着し不衛生になる恐れがあり、また、シール装置のナイフなどを汚す不都合があり、更に、包装充填装置の最終成形装置なども汚れる恐れなどがある。
Since the content liquid is filled in the tube and the tube is laterally sealed under the liquid level, the content liquid may remain between the two pairs of the sealing jaw 10d and the counter jaw 10b.
Residues may adhere to the flaps and fins of the container and may become unsanitary, and may cause inconvenience of staining the knife of the sealing device, and may also contaminate the final molding device of the packaging and filling device. .
