Description

  The present invention relates to a packaging device, and more particularly to a packaging device for packaging a bag-like pouch filled with a liquid substance in a packaging box.

  Bag-like pouches filled with liquid or fluid substances are widely used to supply various foods and chemicals. For example, in order to supply functional food, a flexible bag-like pouch is used, and the functional food is filled into the inside from the mouth of the pouch and used for logistics. In this case, the pouch is provided for physical distribution in a packing form as described in, for example, JP-A-2002-284234. That is, the packaging bags are divided into a plurality of packaging bag bundles that are bundled by a predetermined number, and the positions of the spouts of the plurality of packaging bag bundles are arranged alternately on the left and right sides in the order of the arrangement of the packaging bag bundles. The spout portion of each packaging bag bundle belonging to the first packaging bag bundle row in which the spout portion is disposed is arranged alternately in the order of arrangement, and at the same time, the spout portion is disposed on the other side in the left-right direction. A storage structure is also disclosed in which the spout portions of the packaging bag bundles belonging to the two packaging bag bundle rows are alternately arranged in the order of arrangement.

  Thus, when packing a bag-like pouch filled with a liquid substance, it is necessary to efficiently arrange the pouch in the packaging box, and the filling efficiency must be increased. In addition, when an impact is applied from the outside during distribution, or when the packaging box falls, the internal pouch must be broken to prevent accidents in which the liquid substance flows out.

  In JP-A-2003-128148, in a corrugated cardboard cushioning material that is inserted into an outer box and supports an article, a ridge plate and a folding plate that are arranged in a staggered manner with a notch on both sides of a base plate that receives the article. By sequentially connecting and winding the ridge plate and the folded plate, a difference is made in the angle between the adjacent ridge plates. A packaging form has been proposed in which the bending angle of the ridge plate and the folded plate with respect to the base plate is maintained, and the space between the base plates of each cushioning material is maintained.

  According to such a packing form, the pouch filled inside can be stably protected by the base plate. However, such a form complicates the structure of the packaging material and increases its cost. Further, each pouch is sandwiched and held in the base plate, so that there is a drawback that it takes time for packing.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-224400 discloses a filling pouch for packing in a packing structure for a filling pouch with a spout that houses a large number of filling pouches provided with a spout at one end of a pouch body filled with contents in a carton. Three or more predetermined numbers are combined to form a plurality of pouch sets, and the pouch sets are stacked vertically in a box. The pouch sets are endless in a polygonal shape with each filling pouch placed horizontally. The pouch side end of each filling pouch faces the same side in the arrangement direction, and the spout is assembled so as to overlap the adjacent filling pouch, and the storage space of each pouch set is between the pouch sets. A partition member for partitioning is provided.

According to such a packing structure, there is an advantage that a pouch breakage accident is prevented. However, not only the filling efficiency is not so high, but also the pouches must be sequentially filled into the packing box in a cross-beam shape, which makes the packing operation troublesome. In addition, the filling of the pouch into the packaging box for such complicated packaging has a problem that does not suit mechanization.

  The present invention will be described below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a corrugated cardboard sheet punched out for assembling a packaging box constituting the packaging device of the present embodiment, and this corrugated cardboard sheet is provided with four side plates 11, 12, 13, 14 and these. The side plates 11 to 14 are connected to each other via a fold line 15 so as to be foldable. Further, a joining piece 17 is connected to the end of the left end side plate 11 via a fold line 16, and the joining piece 17 is glued to the end of the side plate 14 on the opposite end. As a result, the packaging box is assembled.

  A bottom plate 20 is connected to a lower end side of the side plates 11 and 13 via a folding line 19 so as to be bent. On the other hand, a flap 22 is connected to the lower ends of the side plates 12 and 14 via a fold line 21 so as to be foldable.

  A lid plate 26 is connected to the upper ends of the side plates 11 and 13 via a folding line 25 so as to be bent. Further, a flap 28 is connected to the upper ends of the side plates 12 and 14 via a fold line 27 so as to be bent.

  Such a corrugated cardboard sheet is assembled as a packaging box for storing a pouch filled with functional food, as shown in FIGS. That is, the four side plates 11 to 14 are bent into a quadrangular cylindrical shape at the folding line 15 and the joining piece 17 is glued to the end of the opposite side plate 14 to be joined. Then, the flap 22 is folded inward by the fold line 21 so as to close the bottom opening, and the bottom plate 20 is folded inward by the fold line 19 to close the bottom opening. Also, after filling a predetermined article in the interior, the flap 28 is folded inward by the fold line 27 and the lid plate 26 is folded by the fold line 25, whereby the upper opening is closed as shown in FIG. The packaging box is assembled. Here, the packaging box is assembled from corrugated cardboard and used in a state in which the corrugations are arranged so as to extend in the height direction of the side plates 11, 12, 13, and 14, as shown in FIG.

  Next, the partition plate 32 arranged in such a packaging box will be described. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the partition plate 32 is formed of a rectangular corrugated cardboard, and a support plate 34 is connected to the two sides on the long side via bending lines 33. A support plate 36 is connected to the short side of the partition plate 32 via a fold line 35 so as to be foldable. The support plates 34 and 36 are bent at substantially right angles at the folding lines 33 and 35. In addition, an opening 37 for mounting and removing the partition plate 32 is formed in a corner portion of the support plate 36 and the partition plate 32, and a finger or a hand is put into the opening 37 to lift the partition plate 32. I have to. The size of the partition plate 32 between the outer edges when the support plates 34 and 36 are bent is the same as the size of the inner space of the packaging box, or in the direction corresponding to the inner space in the lateral direction and the depth direction. On the other hand, it may be smaller than the internal space within a range in which a gap within 20 mm on one side is generated.

  6 and 7 show another partition plate 32 according to the modification. Although the partition plate 32 includes a support plate 34 on the long side, the support plate 36 on the short side of the partition plate 32 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is eliminated. That is, as the partition plate 32 for protecting the pouch arranged at the lowermost stage, the form shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 and the form shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 are properly used according to the weight of the upper pouch. It is done. When the weight of the pouch arranged on the upper side is small, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a partition plate 32 without the short side support plate 36 is used. The long side support plate 34 may be omitted in place of the short side support plate 36. Further, the partition plate 32 without the support plate 34 may be the same size as the partition plate with the support plate 34.

  8 and 9 show the upper partition plate 40. That is, the upper partition plate is provided with the partition plate 40 between the uppermost pouch and the middle pouch disposed below the upper pouch, which makes the middle partition plate particularly stable. I try to protect it. Such a partition plate 40 may be arranged on the uppermost pouch as necessary. A semicircular cut 41 for inserting a hand or a finger may be formed in the side edge of the upper partition plate 40 as shown in FIG. The partition plate 40 may be the same as the size of the internal space of the packaging box or smaller than the internal space in a range in which a gap within 20 mm on one side with respect to the corresponding direction of the internal space is generated in the lateral direction and the depth direction.

  11 and 12 show the pouch filled in the packaging box. Here, a pouch is used to fill the liquid functional food. The pouch 43 is formed by sealing two sheets of the same shape at the peripheral portion and at the seal portion 44 to form a bag, and the inside of the bag constitutes a filling space for functional food. A hanging port 45 and a hanging opening 46 are formed at a predetermined position of the pouch 43. A cylindrical spout 47 is attached to the pouch 43 at a position opposite to the suspension port 45. The spout 47 constitutes a spout for the functional food filled therein and is closed by a cap 48 when not in use.

  Next, another form of the pouch 43 will be described with reference to FIGS. This pouch is a pouch 43 in which two rectangular sheets are stacked and sealed at the periphery with a seal portion 44 in substantially the same manner as the pouch shown in FIGS. The pouch 43 is not provided with a suspension opening, and a suspension opening 45 is provided at a corner portion. Further, here, a substantially conical spout 47 is provided at a diagonal position with respect to the suspension port 45. Such a pouch 43 is filled with diluted liquid food, and the diluted liquid food is extracted from the spout 47 as it is and used for drinking.

  The pouch 43 shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16 is a pouch filled with a thick liquid food that is not diluted, and its peripheral portion is sealed by a seal portion 44. A conical spout 47 similar to the spout shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 is attached to the upper left corner. A hanging port 45 is formed at a position diagonal to the spout 47. A slit 49 with a zipper is attached to the upper right side of the suspension opening 45 and on the end side of the spout 43. Distilled water is poured through the zippered slit 49, thereby diluting the high-concentration liquid food filled therein. As a dilution ratio, for example, about three times dilution is performed.

  As shown in FIGS. 17 to 19, the pouch 43 filled with such functional food is supplied in a three-tiered manner in a state of being arranged horizontally. That is, the pouches 43 are arranged on the bottom plate 20 of the packaging box in a row in the horizontal direction. At this time, one side end of the pouch 43 is arranged in the horizontal direction in a state where the pouch 43 is partially and obliquely stacked so as to be placed on the other side end of the adjacent pouch 43. A partition plate 32 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is disposed on the lowermost pouch. This partition plate 32 is a partition plate provided with support plates 34 and 36 on its four sides. When the weight of the pouch 43 placed thereon is light, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the partition plate 32 including only the support plate 34 and not including the support plate 36 may be disposed.

  On the partition plate 32, four pouches 43 are arranged side by side in the same manner as the lowermost pouch 43. In this case as well, the lower pouch 43 is stacked obliquely on the adjacent pouch 43 with the stacking direction being the same direction so that the other side end of the pouch 43 is placed on one side end of the adjacent pouch 43. A flat partition plate 40 is arranged on the middle pouch 43 and the upper pouch 43. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, or 10, the partition plate 40 is a simple plate-shaped partition plate, and no corner plate is provided with a support plate. Further, four pouches 43 are arranged in the lateral direction on the middle partition plate 40, and the partition plate 40 is arranged thereon. Such pouches 43 are arranged such that one side end thereof is obliquely stacked on the other side end of the adjacent pouch 43. A flat partition plate 40 may be further disposed on the uppermost pouch 43.

  For example, the pouch 43 is stored in the packaging box 60 by mechanization as shown in FIG. Here, in order to fill the packaging box 60 with the pouch 43, the pouch conveyor 61 and the packaging box conveyor 62 are arranged horizontally and parallel to each other. Here, an extrusion port 63 is provided at a predetermined position of the pouch conveyor 61 so as to protrude sideways. A pusher 64 is provided at the extrusion port 63. The pusher 64 is reciprocated in the width direction of the pouch conveyor 61 by an actuator (not shown).

  The pouch conveyor 61 is arranged so that, for example, four pouches 43 have substantially the same form as the packaging form, and one side end of the pouch 43 is placed on the other side end of another adjacent pouch 43. It is conveyed in the state where it was done. Then, a set of four pouches 43 is pushed out by the pusher 64 at the extrusion port 63, and is stored in the packaging box 60 that is conveyed on the packaging box conveyor 62. Although illustration is omitted here, the partition plates 32 and 40 are inserted in synchronism with the insertion of the pouch 43 as appropriate, and thereafter the insertion is performed. Therefore, according to such a form, the filling operation | work with respect to the packaging box 60 of the pouch 43 will be mechanized easily. Such mechanization also enables the pouch 43 to be packed in the packaging box 60 in a predetermined arrangement state reliably and efficiently.

  As the packaging box 60, for example, a packaging box having the outer dimensions, a lateral length of 355 mm (internal dimension: 345 mm), a depth of 265 mm (255 mm), and a height of 145 mm (125 mm) is used. When such a packaging box is placed on a pallet whose vertical and horizontal dimensions are each 1100 mm, as shown in FIG. Twelve packaging boxes 60 can be arranged. Moreover, twelve packaging boxes 60 can be stacked in ten stages, and a total of 120 packaging boxes 60 can be stacked on the pallet 70. Therefore, the packaging boxes 60 are arranged on the pallet 70 very efficiently.

  In addition, what is shown to FIG. 21A has shown the arrangement | sequence on the pallet 70 of the packaging box used for the same objective of the past. In this conventional packing form, the lateral dimension of the packaging box 60 is 327 mm (internal dimension 317 mm), the depth of the packaging box is 314 mm (304 mm), and the height is 177 mm (157 mm). There are nine packaging boxes 60 on a pallet 70 of 1100 mm × 1100 mm and can be stacked in only eight stages, and 72 packaging boxes 60 are placed on one pallet 70. It was. Therefore, in the case of the packaging box 60 of the present application shown in FIG. 21B as compared with such a configuration, it is clearly proved that the loading efficiency is much improved.

  Next, another embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In this embodiment, a pouch 51 as shown in FIGS. 22 and 23 is used. The pouch 51 has a structure in which two sheets having a substantially square shape are joined to each other by a seal portion 52 at a peripheral portion of the pouch 51 to form a bag, and the inside is filled with a functional food. It is a space. A hanging port 53 is formed at the two corner portions, and a first cylindrical spout 54 for pouring the content liquid is provided at the corner portion where the hanging port 53 is not formed. ing. A cap 55 is screwed onto the spout 54. A small conical second spout 56 constituting a spout is attached at a position away from the spout 53, and an elongated cap 57 is screwed to the second spout 56.

  24 to 25 show such a packaging form of the pouch 51. Here, four pouches 51 are arranged at the bottom as shown in FIG. Here, in each row, two pouches 51 are arranged in the vertical direction, and one side end of the pouches 51 is stacked obliquely so as to be placed on the adjacent pouches 51 in the horizontal direction. Are arranged horizontally. The pouches 51 adjacent in the vertical direction may also be arranged so that one end of one pouch 51 rides on the other pouch 51.

  In such a packing form, as shown in FIG. 25 in particular, the pouches 51 arranged in the packaging box and arranged in the lateral direction and adjacent to each other include the first spout 54 and the second pouch 51. The positions of the spouts 56 are shifted from each other by 180 ° ± 20 °. That is, in FIG. 25, the first spout 54 of the pouch 51 located on the left side is located in the upper left, while the first spout 54 of the right pouch 51 is located in the lower right. Further, the second spout 56 of the left pouch 51 protrudes to the right side, whereas the second spout 56 of the right pouch 51 protrudes to the left side. In this way, the second spouts 56 are arranged so as to be opposite to each other at the lateral center position of the packaging box so that the second spouts 56 are in contact with the side plates 12 and 14 of the packaging box. This is because, when it is arranged, a bag breaking accident occurs due to a force that causes the second spout 56 to be immersed in the pouch 51 in the event of a fall accident. As shown in FIG. 25, when the left and right pouches 51 are stored in a posture rotated by 180 ° ± 20 °, more preferably 180 ° ± 10 °, the bag breaking accident can be surely prevented. In addition, it is not preferable that the left and right pouches 51 are tilted by more than ± 20 degrees because the pouches 51 are superposed and the filling efficiency in the height direction is deteriorated.

  Partition plates 32 are arranged on the four pouches 51. Here, as the partition plate 32, a partition plate 32 (see FIGS. 6 and 7) in which a support plate 34 is provided only on the long side portion is used. In place of the partition plate 32 provided with the support plate 34 only on the long side portion, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the partition plate 32 provided with the support plates 34 and 36 on the four sides is used. Also good. Alternatively, a flat partition plate 40 that is the same as or smaller than the inner space of the two packaging boxes 60 is used, and between the lowermost pouch 51 and the middle pouch 51 and between the middle pouch 51 and the upper pouch 51. You may make it arrange | position the partition plate 40 between the pouches 51, respectively. If necessary, the partition plate 40 may be disposed on the upper pouch 51.

  When the partition plate 32 is arranged between the lower pouch 51 and the middle pouch 51, the four pouches 51 are obliquely stacked on the partition plate 32 in the same manner as the lowermost pouch 51. It is arranged in the state. A flat partition plate 40 is disposed thereon, and four more pouches 51 are placed side by side on the partition plate 40. The arrangement of the four uppermost pouches 51 is also similar to the arrangement of the middle and lowermost pouches 51 so that one end portion of the pouch 51 is placed on the other end of another adjacent pouch 51. Stored in an obliquely stacked state. Also in such a form, it becomes the packing form which does not generate | occur | produce a bag breakage accident like the said embodiment.

  Such packaging of the pouch 51 in the packaging box 60 is automatically performed, for example, by an apparatus shown in FIG. Here, a pouch conveyor 61 and a packaging box conveyor 62 are used. Moreover, the pouch conveyor 61 has an inverted J shape, and an inverted J shape conveyor 61 that is reversed left and right is used. In such a conveyor 61, a curved portion 65 is formed at the lower end portion in FIG. A first extrusion port 63 is provided on the upstream side of the curved portion 65 of the pouch conveyor 61, and a pusher 64 is provided at the extrusion port 63. And the 2nd extrusion port 66 is provided in the downstream of the curved part 65 so that it may face the mutually opposite direction with respect to the said 1st extrusion port 63. As shown in FIG. Moreover, a pusher 67 is further attached to the extrusion port 66.

  In such a form, the packaging box 60 is conveyed by the packaging box conveyor 62, and the two pouches 51 are dropped by the pusher 64 into the left part of the packaging box 60 at the portion of the extrusion port 63 of the pouch conveyor 61. become. Then, the remaining two pouches 51 are further conveyed by the pouch conveyor 61, passed through the curved portion 65, pushed out by the pusher 67 through the second extrusion port 66, and stored in the packaging box 60. As a result, the packaging box 60 can store two pouches 51 in two rows, that is, four pouches 51 arranged in a row. In this case as well, the partition plates 32 and 40 are appropriately accommodated after the pouches 51 of the respective stages are filled.

  In both of the above-described two embodiments, the pouches 43 and 51 can be filled in the packaging box 60 with high filling efficiency. Moreover, since the pouches 43 and 51 are arranged in the horizontal direction and are arranged obliquely so as to be placed on the side ends of other adjacent pouches, a bag breaking accident is reliably prevented. In addition, since the partition plate 32 having the support plates 34 and 36 and the flat partition plate 40 or the two or three flat partition plates 40 are simply arranged vertically, the pouches 43 and 51 The filling operation is greatly simplified and the cost of packing is reduced.

  Tables 1 and 2 show the results of the drop test for the two embodiments. Table 3 shows data of a drop test of a comparative example for a conventional packaging form. In these drop tests, the packaging box is filled with the pouch in each of the two embodiments, and the presence or absence of broken bags in the drop test is confirmed. For example, when the drop height is 60 cm-50 cm-50 cm, the drop test is sequentially performed on three surfaces in the order of the bottom surface 60 cm, the long side surface 50 cm, and the short side surface 50 cm. Thereafter, the drop height is increased by 10 cm, and the drop test is repeated. The test for increasing the height is repeated until a broken bag is generated. In such a drop test, as a pretreatment, the temperature is adjusted at 5 ° C. for 24 hours, and the temperature of the sample used for the test is kept at a constant value.

  As a result of the drop test, according to the first embodiment of the packaging form in which four pouches are placed in one stage and three pouches are placed in one stage, a bag breakage occurs at 110 cm-100 cm-100 cm. ing. Therefore, it has been proved that pouch breakage does not occur at a height of 100 cm-90 cm-90 cm, and that it can be stably used for physical distribution. Further, in the second embodiment, the two pieces arranged in the vertical direction are further arranged in two rows in the horizontal direction, and four spouts in one row and a total of 12 spouts are put in three rows. The results of the form drop test are shown in Table 2. Here, the flat partition plates 40 are arranged between the lower pouch and the middle pouch and between the middle pouch and the upper pouch, respectively. This result is very good, and a bag breakage accident occurs only at a height of 130 cm-120 cm-120 cm. Therefore, no bag breakage accident occurred at a height of 120 cm-110 cm-110 cm. Therefore, it becomes a packing form having high resistance to dropping.

  Table 3 shows the result of a drop test in the case of a conventional packing form, in which a spout is filled in a cross-beam shape. Such a packing form is a packing form proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-224400. In the case of this packaging form, in the drop test of 110 cm-100 cm-100 cm, a middle-edge edge breakage accident has occurred. Therefore, the results shown in Table 1 and the results shown in Table 3 are almost equivalent. That is, the packing form shown in Table 1 of the present application can obtain high filling efficiency while exhibiting substantially the same bag breaking resistance as the case of the conventional cross-girder-like filling structure. Therefore, while maintaining safety equivalent to that of the prior art, the packing efficiency is excellent, and further, mechanization of filling is possible. Further, it has been proved that the configuration in which two rows of spout groups in the vertical direction shown in Table 2 are arranged in the horizontal direction exhibits high filling efficiency and extremely high bag breaking resistance.

  Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the illustrated embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. For example, various changes can be made to the shape of the pouches 43 and 51 in the above embodiment, the type and concentration of the liquid substance filled therein, and the like. Also, the number of pouches 43 and 51 arranged in one stage can be arbitrarily increased or decreased. In addition, the substance filled in the pouch is not necessarily limited to the functional liquid food, and various other liquids and fluid substances may be used.

  The present invention can be widely used as a packing device for filling a bag-like pouch filled with a liquid substance.
